Hey guys and gals!!
What do Gwyneth Paltrow, Bill Clinton, SR Nathan and His Holiness the Dalai Lama have in common? They’re all on Meng’s wall!!
Want to know what it’s like to work and PLAY in Google? Want to find out more about how Google promotes innovation? Come meet Chade-Meng (Meng), Google’s Jolly Good Fellow.
A Little Something about Meng
Meng’s unusual job title started as a joke, but eventually became real. He was one of Google’s earliest engineers, and also the FIRST Singaporean to be hired by Google. Among many other things, he helped build Google’ first mobile search service, and headed the team that evaluated and kept a vigilant eye of Google’s search quality. After a successful eight year stint in Engineering, he now serves with Google University, where he works to promote both Google culture and personal growth. His main project is Search Inside Yourrself - a Mindfulness-based Emotional Intelligence course, which he hopes will eventually contribute to world peace in a meaningful way.
Organised by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) and The Digital Movement (TDM), Meng will share his personal philosophy, experiences as well as anecdotes on working with multi-billion dollar company Google.
Date: 30th July 2008
Time: Registration starts at 6:30 pm
