The Pitch ‘n’ Talk event series went on for the 4th edition. This time, Wong Kai Yuen shared how TED talks have impacted his life and business.
Mr Wong, as he is affectionately called, is a wise and respectable veteran businessman who likes to share and impart knowledge and experiences to people around. He is especially passionate in sharing about food, education, business, economy and finance.
Pitch ‘n’ Talk #4 – TED Talks Worth Sharing was organized on 15th April 2014 in EcoGreen Organice Restaurant owned by Wong himself. Indeed, he has put his money where his mouth is by investing in an organic food store and leading the slow food movement.
