06 / Selected work

Projects & case studies.

Chee Weng was basically the person I first met when I have decided to join CTOS 3 years ago, he made sure I learned and understand the company and our solution in less than a week. We partnered closely and he was my partner in ensuring customers feedback are taken seriously in improving our offering. Chee Weng is an extraordinary and selfless individual, one of those rare talent I have had the chance to work with. He was our senior product manager for our flagship solutions for business. He is very thorough, knowledgeable and lead with example. A very customers centric individual both external & internally, Chee Weng brings value with purpose and he has always has a strategic vision on a product, it's roadmap and contribution to a company growth. A truly remarkable individual and talent.

Shin Mei Lee

Chief Executive Officer at CTOS | Ex Google, Microsoft, Digi, Samsung

Senior Colleague: Shin Mei was senior to Chee Weng but didn’t manage Chee Weng directly

I've worked with Chee Weng twice: first at CTOS, where he led our SME SaaS credit product as Senior Product Manager, and now at YYC taxPOD, where he is Head of Product. He learns fast, leads with a positive attitude, and earns the trust of his team and stakeholders. He is also our AI champion at YYC, driving hands-on adoption across the team. A strong product leader I'd gladly work with again.

Lucas Lee

Chief Product and Technology Officer YYC taxPOD

Direct Manager: Lucas managed Chee Weng directly

Pleasure working with Chee Weng as he led the product team. Solid understanding of customer propositions, UI/UX design as well as bringing new ideas to the table with AI etc.

Excellent leader who develops and empowers his team members, whilst staying close to the ground esp with customer engagements.

As a senior leader within the organisation, CW is also very collaborative when it comes to cross functional engagements. Business unit leaders whom he supports absolutely enjoys working with him.

Pau Min Wong

Chief Operating Officer at Taylor’s University

Direct Manager: Pau Min managed Chee Weng directly

I had the opportunity to work with Chee Weng during our time at CTOS, where he was part of the Product Management team. He was a dependable and collaborative colleague who consistently demonstrated a positive and solution-oriented approach.

He was always willing to support others, take on challenges, and work through issues to find practical solutions. His commitment to delivering the best possible outcome, together with his willingness to help his colleagues, made him a valued member of the team.

I would highly recommend him to any organisation looking for someone who is collaborative, committed, and brings a constructive attitude to his work.

Tracy Gan

Chief Operations Officer at TIME Retail

Senior Colleague: Chee Weng was senior to Tracy but didn’t manage Tracy directly

I had the pleasure of working with Chee Weng on several projects across our teams within the same group. He demonstrated a strong ability to turn ideas into practical plans and follow through on execution, helping us bring several projects to a successful conclusion. What stood out was how well he worked across teams. Our teams collaborated effectively, and Chee Weng played an important role in keeping the work aligned and moving forward. I would recommend Chee Weng for his planning and execution capabilities, collaborative approach and ability to deliver results.

Puven Sangaran

Chief Executive Officer | Private Equity-backed Value Creation

Senior Colleague: Puven was senior to Chee Weng but didn’t manage Chee Weng directly

I worked alongside Chee Weng at CTOS, where he was a Product Manager, collaborating closely on IT transformation initiatives and the definition of new product requirements.

Chee Weng has a strong understanding of the credit reporting industry, which made a real difference in how he worked. He was able to relay customer requirements clearly while balancing them against the technical and regulatory constraints that are so central to our industry - turning complex, sometimes competing needs into requirements the teams could actually build.

That ability to sit between the business, the customer, and the technical and compliance realities is a genuine strength and not an easy one to find. He was consistently collaborative, pragmatic, and dependable to work with.

Any team would benefit from his product sense and his grasp of what it takes to deliver in a regulated, data-driven environment.

Sylvain Lecorné

Founder & director, InnovéLab Sdn Bhd

Senior Colleague: Sylvain was senior to Chee Weng but didn’t manage Chee Weng directly

Anyone who gets the opportunity to work with Chee Weng is genuinely lucky.

He is one of the smartest, most resourceful and down-to-earth leaders I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

As a Product Owner, he is incredibly quick at understanding problems and coming up with practical, well-thought-out solutions. He has a great instinct for what will work best, even during complicated situations.

What I value most is the trust he gives his team. He gives us room to grow, with the right support and advice when we need it.

Melissa Liew

Product Owner - AI & Digital Initiatives

Direct Report: Melissa reported to Chee Weng directly

I had the pleasure of working with him as a Project Manager. He was excellent at balancing client expectations with the needs of his team, while keeping deliverables, timelines, and effort on track.

He brought a strong technical perspective to high-level architecture discussions and helped connect business requirements with enterprise and technical needs.

What I appreciated most was his leadership by example. He cared about his team, kept morale high, and made time for team lunches and bonding activities.

A great Project Manager and a good leader. Our professional paths have not crossed again yet, but if they do, I would be happy to work with him and be part of his team again.
