17 Oct Guest Personality: Henri Bong
Born in South-East Asia, Henri and his family migrated to France when he was only 18 months. He became a French citizen when he turned 18 and started working for the French Embassy in China and Singapore till 2012. A failed business venture led to a second company in 2016, which now employs more than 60 people in Singapore and Taiwan.
Even as a man of international experience and exposure, the concept of home took time for Henri to grasp. Growing up with an identity crisis and facing both failures and successes in the tech entrepreneurial world, how did he stand resolute in the midst of difficulty?
At his crossroads of success, failure and identity confusion, how did he find his way home?

Little did she know that her then husband would abandon her after they had their first child, leaving her to fend alone with a child born with heart and brain abnormalities.
