When you meet Tim Wong, you are instantly drawn in by his funny mannerisms, wit, and charm. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Tim has called Boston, Massachusetts, his home for four years. In speaking engagements, attendees meet Tim Wong in a different light.
As a speaker of well-rounded wisdom gained from studies at Bryant University, Tim teaches the general public how to successfully leverage technology to maximize the effect. While at Bryant University, Tim’s field of study was computer information sciences (CIS) and applied actuarial mathematics (AAM). His degrees propelled him to gain expertise in web technologies. Later, seeing the opportunity to apply his knowledge for the betterment of man, Tim honed his skills into a trade to simplify corporate mundane tasks. Tim is known to reduce long-term maintenance, manage sales and financial data, and provide solutions for logical data storage/retrieval to decrease the total cost of client ownership.
If you ask him where he gained such interest and motivation to devote his time and education, Tim will tell you that he saw a need for his assistance in helping people accomplish more with their time. When it comes to the vision he wishes to achieve, Tim sees himself speaking around the nation on topics such as innovation, customer service, and leadership.
Tim recently co-founded Tweetee, a T-shirt company that promotes businesses via their #hashtag or @username logos. In addition to his start-up, Tim provides technical awareness to non-profit organizations such as Asian-American Resource Workshop, Asian Community Development Corporation, Viet Hope, and serves on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Asian-American Professionals.
A person who believes in individual progression, Tim’s personal advances came from the support of mentors such as Kanti Gala, Mark Sanborn, and John Maxwell. Believing that karma tends to be full circle, Tim gives back to two foundations; Amway Global and We Live To Give. Although Tim is a polished person who gives back to many with honest good intentions, he is a gentleman with one flaw…his inability to turn down a really good slice of strawberry cheesecake.
