SMU alumnus Jeff Tung, founder of supply chain fintech firm Sheng Ye Capital, was awarded the Young Business Leader of the Year at this year’s edition of the Singapore Business Awards. He shared how he leverages the power of data and takes advantage of trends like digitalisation for his business. Jeff admits that he has a soft spot for educational projects, and had participated in a school building project in Henan province when he was still a SMU student. Since graduating, he and fellow SMU alumnus Benjamin Twoon established a S$1 million PAK Entrepreneurship Fund in 2015. Additionally, he has contributed an endowed sum of S$1 million in 2020, which was the single largest contribution gifted by an SMU alumnus then. After two years of national service in Singapore and four years at SMU, he realised that there was a lot that he could do to give back to society and the underprivileged.
