Warren Ang

Founder and CEO

Warren founded Voyage to 1) reflect his ~20 years’ experience that scaling impact in Asia requires strategic initiatives, rooted in local leadership and partners, executing over a long-term horizon; and 2) to be a place that sharpened and inspired the best talent to change the ways they saw the world, and their potential to change it. His skillset merges strategy consulting, entrepreneurship, and executive management; all informed by a strong track record in strategic philanthropy across Asia, and a deep curiosity of Jungian psychology and leadership development. He has lived and worked in China, India and Australia, and holds an MBA with Distinction from INSEAD. Outside of work, you’ll find him carving on a snowboard, playing ice-hockey, or hanging out with his forever-puppy Kobi.
