In an interview, SMU alumnus and Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tech in Asia (TIA) Willis Wee shared how a chat with Willson Cuaca, co-Founder of East Ventures at a McDonald's near SMU when he was an SMU student changed the course of his early career. He also shared the lengths his team went to in order to build a sustainable media business, and what he hopes to get out of the new partnership with The Business Times, after SPH Media's acquisition of TIA.
