Always on the lookout for the next big thing

KNOWING when to hold on and when to move on.

That's the philosophy that the chairman of JK Tech Group Lennon Tan, 49, lives by when doing business in Singapore or China.

"China, in the early 2000, was going through phenomenal growth. That was when I felt, to a certain extent, that I should focus on China. It is a market that, as an entrepreneur, I didn't want to miss as it would be great for the next 20 years," said the winner of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2017 - Financial Services Technology Enablement award.
