Short Bio

Keith Ng is an absolute genius for the gamification process. He co-founded  Gametize, a gamification platform to motivate behaviors through challenges and rewards such as in recruitment, learning & development, marketing and  community advocacy.

The proof of how incredible Gametize is, lies in the fact that it won funding in a reality TV show Angel’s gate, the People’s Vote in IBM’s Asean Smartcamp in 2013, and found its place on the list of the 20 hottest startups in Singapore in 2105 published by the Singapore Business Review. Today, the platform is powering fun for more than 300,000 users totaling over 15 million challenge completion.

And we are not finished yet.

Our Singapore-based mentor was nominated as one of the most influential people in gamification globally by Gamification Summit in 2014, as well as one of the top 100 gamification innovators/consultants by Sparkah.

Aside from designing  Gametize’s gamification frameworks, Keith also speaks on this topic globally, including Gamification Summit in San Francisco, HR Congress in Manila, and Loyalty Summit, in Mumbai.

He is very passionate  about using game thinking and positive psychology to solve engagement problems, and designing extremely simple user experience for people to get hooked. Motivation theories intrigue him as much as learning about artificial intelligence and scaling methodologies.

This coding wiz started to code when he was only 12 which was crowned with a development and selling of a MLM CRM software for a healthcare clients, which is still in use 18 years later, at the age of 18 before his military drafting.

He then completed his BBM in Finance and BSc in Information Systems on a DFS Scholarship in Singapore Management University, ending his final semester on exchange in Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium studying arts and the Flemish language.

Aside from his deep love for gamification and the company, Keith lives for his Tuesday evening futsal games and nurtures passion towards draft beer. If you are lucky, you might even catch him beertending and washing glasses at a beer shop once a week in Chinatown Food Complex.
