Who is Mr. H’ng Gaik Teong?

Mr. H’ng Gaik Teong is the CEO and Founder of Satori Research and an experienced finance and digital asset professional. Before founding Satori Research, he spent two decades managing global macro portfolios at leading financial institutions including Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan.

His career later expanded into the cryptocurrency and digital asset sector. In 2017, Mr H’ng was recruited by SBI Japan to develop its cryptocurrency trading business. He subsequently served as Chief Operating Officer of its regulated digital asset exchange in Tokyo.

Today, Mr H’ng focuses on fintech startup investing, working closely with founders and regulators as new technologies, business models and regulatory frameworks continue to shape the future of digital finance.

For students, this means learning goes beyond theory. They gain greater exposure to the challenges, opportunities and developments shaping today’s technology-driven industries.

Digital finance continues to evolve alongside developments in blockchain, artificial intelligence, data, cybersecurity and financial technology.
