Setting up his own startup in the learning technology space to highlighting the most relevant trends that will dominate the future of this industry, David Yeo, Founder and CEO of Kydon Group, Parenthexis, and LEARNTech Asia gives a glimpse on how he started out on the journey of entrepreneurship and his perspectives on transforming the learning technology space
David started his career in the military, winning a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) award for his leadership skills and was well on his way to be a career soldier. But his inner calling to make an impact in the wider society of Southeast Asia led him to move into the learning technology space – with a vision to transform the industry landscape. Today, David leads Asia's leading Knowledge and Learning technology and services company, Kydon Group, to transform learning for 21st-century cities and workforce. As the Chief Learning Architect of Kydon, David also supports organizations to establish the core structure of their knowledge and learning systems. He is also a regular speaker and presenter in local and international conferences and workshops, and an active contributor to the global effort toward future skills and learning.
David holds an MSc in Instructional Systems from Florida State University under the first Instructional Technology Postgraduate Award, a Graduate Diploma in Leadership and Organizational Development, and a Certificate of Leadership in Education.
