Chong Lee Kean is an accomplished entrepreneur, a digital pioneer and business mentor with vast experience in building and scaling technology-driven organisations in Malaysia.

Renowned as a co-founder of iPay88 Malaysia, one of the country’s pioneering online payment gateways, he played a key role in shaping Malaysia’s early e-commerce and digital payment landscape. His work at iPay88 has helped thousands of businesses to make secured online transactions in the formative years of digital commerce in the region.

Earlier in his career, Chong was part of The Star Online pioneer team involved in the early digital transformation of one of Malaysia’s leading media organisations. This gave him a first-hand exposure to digital strategy, platform building and organisational change long before digital became mainstream.

Beyond his executive roles, Chong is an active mentor and advisor, particularly to founders and leadership teams navigating growth, scaling challenges and strategic inflection points. He brings a practical and experience-based perspective to leadership discussions, grounded in real-world successes, setbacks and lessons learned from building businesses in fast-evolving industries.

He is able to create a trusted environment for CEOs and business owners to challenge assumptions, gain clarity and make better decisions — drawing on peer wisdom and his own entrepreneurial journey.
