Colin Ng is a Principal Lecturer & Consultant at NUS-ISS, specialising in Digital Products & Platforms. A builder at heart, Colin has spent over fifteen years creating and scaling technology products across fintech and edtech; first as an operator at some of Southeast Asia's most ambitious companies, and more recently as an entrepreneur.

He subsequently held senior product and commercial leadership roles at Coherent, before taking on the challenge of leading Western Union Asia's transformation into a multi-product financial super app.
Beyond fintech, Colin was recently a co-founder of Let Kids Be Kids, an edtech startup building curriculum and engagement tools for the early childhood space, including LessonKraft, a platform helping preschool teachers save time so they can focus on the children in their care.
Colin holds a Master and Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Engineering from Simon Fraser University, and completed the Chief Strategy Officer Executive Programme at NUS Business School.
At NUS-ISS, Colin's mission is to help the next generation of product leaders develop the craft, judgement, and confidence to build products that genuinely matter.
