First of all, its a pleasure to write this recommendation for Jackie Lee, an enterprising individual with passion for success.
I got to know Jackie when my company was engaged by Hardware Zone to implement Salesforce.com CRM solution. Hardware Zone was an early adopter of on-demand CRM solution in Singapore and the decision to take on this project has proven to be the right one. Jackie is very insightful in his perspective of how IT technology and especially Internet related technology can bring more business to an organisation. He is a successful technopreneur with a proven track record to back it up. I would recommend any venture capitalist or investors to speak with him if they are thinking of investing in the cyberspace.
I got to know Jack in 1998 & had the privilege of serving on the board of Hardwarezone - a company he founded while still in university. He is an insightful and highly driven entrepreneur; thereby earning the respect & loyalty of his colleagues as well as business partners. He created exceptional shareholder value when Hardwarezone was acquired by one of the largest media companies in Asia.
An excellent CEO who is willing to take risks and belief in staff potential. Able to motivate colleagues towards a common vision.
Jackie is an inspiring entrepreneur and boss. He shares his visions and ideas frequently which excites the team and aligns the team's objectives to the company's vision and goals. He constantly keeps himself abreast of the latest industry development to maintain leadership in the area of his expertise. He gives employees the opportunity to grow within the company based on their capability and contribution.
Opinionated, self-driven, energetic leader with a vision. He has great passion in innovating and developing products which revolves around web technologies.
Jackie is a visionary leader and we have worked on several projects together in SPH. Jackie has always demonsrated a can do attitude that is aligned with his technopremeur profile. He can be counted on to create change and offer innovative solutions. His energetic and dyanamic leadership style, is reflected similarly through his team who works in the same pace and passion. Jackie is certainly a thought leader in the internet space.
A visionary leader with strong charisma. Challenging us to go out of comfort zone was his daily affair. And when he saw you doing the jump, he'll support you with his experience and wisdom. When the jump turned out less than ideal, he'll invest time to go through the whys with you.
He is also a digital evangelist and remains rather hands on in this area till date.
In the ancient world, soldiers want to go to war under the flag of a commander who knows what he wants and the battlefield - he is one such commander.
Jackie has been my big boss ever since Hardware Zone days. He has passion about his work, he brings passion into his work, and he inspire passions among us. Never one to shun an idea, always ready to explore new ones.
With him, its easy to tell him "No, why not we try this instead...", because his doors are always open, and will gladly engage in a dialogue, always listening.
My beliefs and my confidence towards my work, is all thanks to Jackie and the management for setting the right tone and environment for us to strive in.
BBF (Best Boss Forever)!
As a reporter, I covered Jackie's rise through the publishing and interactive media world and through that journey I found an astute entrepreneur with a passion for people. We once enjoyed a lunch together where he shared about how he and his friends from school threw caution into the wind, worked hard, and built an Asian tech publishing empire from scratch - a feat that not many of us can lay claim. I recommend Jackie for his business acumen and dedication to his craft.
