Gideon has many years of Internet web application development experience, beginning in 1995 with Sembawang Media, a major local communications company. Gideon was involved in various groundbreaking Internet projects, e.g. Cybershoppe, possibly the first online shopping site in Singapore, the Sembawang Corporation website, and the Pacific Internet homepage. Pacific Internet, a leading regional ISP and portal, made history by being the first Singapore Internet company to go public on NASDAQ in 1999. |

After joining NEC Singapore Pte Ltd, Gideon developed two major applications for the company, Tourism ONE and Hotel ONE, which were among the batch of pioneer applications developed and showcased for Asia Telecom 97. After leaving NEC, Gideon, then 27 only, set up Web Synergies without real plans but at least a bedroom to work from. The company has since won numerous accolades and an award for the United Nations Environment Programme for the Asia Pacific website for its excellence in web development.
In his current position of CEO of
Web Synergies, Gideon oversees major government
and private sector IT projects, e.g., for Housing
& Development Board, Singapore (HDB) and Sony,
Merrill Lynch, etc. In addition, he has conducted
workshops for the International Trade Institute
of Singapore, a subsidiary of IE
(Singapore international trade development board),
in topics like ecommerce, Electronic Customer
Relationship Management and Internet Marketing.
The National Youth Achievement Award Council,
in recognition of his experience, had asked him
to be a judge for a national schools website competition.
Gideon, always a pioneer, was as a teenager among the first 50 members of City Harvest Church, now a 14,000 strong Christian community. He also cultivates with great humility and secrecy a couple of "private gardens". |
