Ted Chan’s Summary

I am an innovative strategic thinker who understands how to achieve business goals and create competitive advantage through the use of technology, risk management and leadership/communication. During my career, I have extensive experience working with Fortune 500 companies on technology strategy, outsourcing and operational execution. I am about value creation and generating revenue while doing right by my colleagues and clients.

I have deep knowledge of finance, economics, information technology and strategy as I have sought to build the skill set of a C-level leader. I hold several leading certifications, including the Project Management Institute PMI designation, and the Disaster Recovery Institute's CBCP title.

In my social endeavors, I seek to create scalable models of transformation. I believe strongly that total factor productivity growth in emerging economies is essential, and that the biggest levers for this are training/education and improving health care systems. As such, my projects focus in this area.

Previously, I founded or co-founded four successful organizations and am currently working on several others, as co-founder or strategic adviser.
