Terence Lee is now Editor, manages growing team at SGE

January 21, 2013 by  

For regular readers of SGE, this next person I want to highlight in our Faces of SGE series should be a very familiar face.

It has been quite a journey for SGE the last two years: Sometime in the middle, I went full-time and we brought on fresh grad, Terence Lee as an Assistant Editor, full-time as well. Since then, Terence’s face has been like the Microsoft virtual paperclip man, popping up everywhere – on Google searches and all – just without that annoyance factor.

I’ve been so privileged to have had him come to us via a referral from a friend, Shihan – who happens to be Terence’s co-founder in New Nation (a reader of theirs called the site “The Onion of Singapore”). And I’ve been even more privileged to have had the opportunity to work with him over the last 1.5 years.

And during this journey, we have rebranded to SGE.io, launched our new research arm, SGE Insights and expanded our team.

Terence has being an awesome writer and assistant editor over the last 1.5 years, but that is changing now.

I am very happy to announce that Terence is now officially now stepping up to be Editor at SGE.

He will continue to help steer SGE forward in our plans and manage our growing editorial team. I look forward to the exciting times ahead, but first, I present to you Terence Lee, Editor, SGE: Read more

Stephanie Sutanto brings some SGE glam into Los Angeles

January 17, 2013 by  

Sometime in the middle of last year, a certain Stephanie Sutanto emailed the early stage fund that I used to run, asking for internship positions. I told her that we were no longer looking for people but SGE was. I also told her that I was scooting off the next day and would be completely uncontactable for two weeks on a meditation course so we would have to chat immediately. We did, and therein lies the story of how Steph joined us.

Now Steph is back in Los Angeles in the USA, completing her college studies but she continues to help us here at SGE.

It has been awesome having her and I thought you should know more about this dynamic young lady. And, for our readers in LA, do reach out to Steph to find out more about SGE and Asia’s tech scene! Read more
