About Ming Chan
I once got yelled at by Steve Jobs.I was a technical lead working on projects for Apple. His ability to see what others couldn’t was extraordinary. His delivery was intense. That moment stuck with me and fundamentally shaped how I approach innovation, leadership, and communication.For the past 20+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and product innovation. I started as a software engineer, then expanded into roles including Product Manager, CTO, CSO, CEO, and strategic advisor, helping both Fortune 500 companies and fast-growth startups turn complex ideas into real products and scalable businesses.Along the way, I was honored to be named one of Inc. Magazine’s “Top 10 Asian Entrepreneurs in America” and to receive an Emmy® Award for technical leadership in Interactive TV.As founder of The1stMovement, I built a digital innovation agency that landed on the Inc. multiple consecutive years while creating a culture recognized by LA Magazine as one of the Best Places to Work in Los Angeles.Today, I spend my time working with visionary leaders, founders, and enterprises - helping them navigate digital transformation, build meaningful products, and turn bold ideas into real-world impact.Because great technology isn’t just about what you build. It’s about how you lead people to believe in it.
