Andrew Ong

I am a seasoned senior executive who has a distinguished career which spans over three decades with both MNCs and startups. In the most recent 20 years, I have held key executive roles with companies such as General Electric, Western Union, Mastercard, Fexco Financials and most recently Flywire. At Flywire, I joined the company as its Managing Director (APAC) in the early days after the company was setup. After 7 years, as one of the key executive members of Flywire, I have grown the region into a multi-million business from a one-person team to a 120+ team with 4 offices in the region. Flywire currently is a NASDAQ listed company in 2021 and I was instrumental in taking it from zero to ten. Currently, I am the CEO (Asia Pacific) of a UK based B2B Payments company called 3S Money. I am also the Independent Non-Executive Director (INED) of CardsPal, which is one of the portfolio companies of SC Ventures, by Standard Chartered Bank. Recently, I have joined as an Advisor of Ventureblick which specialises in helping Healthtech startup companies to raise funds. I am hoping to be a mentor at Pay it Forward so that I can share my past and vast experience in building companies of varying sizes and stages of growth. In particular startups where they need the most help with their strategies and operations.
