Dennis is a passionate digital entrepreneur who believes strongly in using technology to remove “pain points” for people, create a better market and leveraging on digital platforms to promote positive change.Dennis started his entrepreneurial journey to change the world by founding HungryGoWhere.com (HGW) in 2006, a social media platform thatgave a voice to everyone to decide where the best food in Singapore is. By allowing all restaurants to engage our large community of food lovers for free, HGW also gave small restaurants (frequently run by passionate owners) in Singapore the chance to thrive against the big boys who were running them out of business with their far superior financial power. Having disrupted the F&B sector in Singapore and growing HGW’s traffic to 1 million unique monthly visitors by 2012, I sold HGW to Singtel for S$12 million (approximately US$10 million) in June 2012.Armed with this entrepreneurial experience, Dennis now leads the Singtel Group in its international digital media expansion, starting up and creating new digital assets around the Asia-Pacific that would help improve lives and bring about positive change. With these numerous start-ups behind him, he joined the Founders Institute in May 2013 and is presently an active advisor and mentor to several start-ups across the region, all of which have a strong social mission. Prior to his time as an entrepreneur, he worked 7 years in the Singapore Government in various management roles after accepting the Singapore Government’s Public Service Commission Overseas Merit Scholarship. The most interesting was the 4 years spent at the Prime Minister’s Office (Deputy Head of the Strategic Policy Office) where he mapped out various future scenarios that Singapore would exist in, and used that as a platform to influence various strategic policies subsequently undertaken by the Singapore government.

- Voyagin — Voyagin is the tours and activities marketplace in Asia with a mission to help travelers discover and book the best travel experiences across Asia. Its website features over 1,800 things to do including tickets to museums and shows, cultural activities, romantic dinners, adventure experiences, and private guides bookable in English, Japanese, andChinese in over 50 destinations in Asia, in advance or in destination via its mobile optimized website. The Voyagin team believes that "travel in Asia is broken." Guests end up sightseeing because unique experiences are hard to find and insecure to book; hosts end up spending time and money on websites which are hard to update and mostly out of date. They also believe that an "experience is more than just an activity; it's about meeting people, trying something new and seeing the world from a different perspective." In hopes to differentiate themselves, they traveled around Asia to find and curate the best experiences and hosts.Launched in 2012, Voyagin provides a trusted platform for tours and activities providers (hosts) in Asia to list their experiences; its team of community managers work with each host to curate their activities both online and during the experience, ensuring their quality. Backed by its 100% satisfaction guarantee, multilingual customer support, and verified reviews from actual guests, Voyagin is the best place for travelers visiting Asia to discover and book their next local experience.Voyagin was founded in 2011 as FindJPN, a marketplace for authentic activities in Japan. FindJPN changed its name to Voyagin in December 2012 when they expanded into Asia.
