Tze Yi Tan

Nice to meet you 😁

My name is Tze (pronounced "zee"). Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I grew up in a multi-langual and multi-cultural city, in a large, loving family of 7. When I was 18, I had the opportunity to study abroad, so I left to the United Kingdom, without knowing much about the country or seeing it before. I currently live in Munich, Germany. My varied life and cultural experiences have truly shaped my philosophy.

I'm passionate about learning and using technology to create positive societal impact. In the last decade of my career, I have been fortunate to work in some of the biggest technology companies in the world (BlackRock, Palantir Technologies, and now Google). This showed me the impact technology truly has in the real world, and enabled me to learn from some of the greatest minds.

As someone who struggled in Mathematics in my younger years, moving to London and studying Mathematics and Economics at the London School of Economics was not what I expected myself to be doing. Undoubtedly, life in Mathematics and London broadened my perspective and further reinforeced my belief - learning is a continuous journey. This is why I'm always learning.

All my life, I have been blessed with patient, generous and kind friends, family and mentors, whose wisdom and support have shaped me into who I am today. This is why I've been a pro bono mentor with every opportunity I get. Whether you need a sounding board or a proactive hands-on mentor, I'm here for you.
