    ABOUT a decade ago, Bill Lee left the relative comfort of a senior position at one of the Big Four accounting firms to be an entrepreneur and develop a startup.

    By his admission, these nine years or so as the founder and chief executive officer of Azendian Solutions – a Singapore-based data science and operations technology company – have been the most challenging and yet most rewarding of his career so far.

    “About a third of my working life has been at this startup, this SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) that I’ve built. Being an entrepreneur has been the hardest work I’ve done professionally,” he tells The Business Times at the company’s headquarters on the BCA Braddell Campus.
