Mr Keng Ng

Mr Keng Ng arrived in Melbourne from Malaysia in 1989 and completed his final years of secondary school studies at Luther College, Croydon. He lived in the school’s boarding house through Years 11 and 12, which offered an instant and acute introduction to Australian everyday culture. Mr Ng was admitted to the Faculty Information Technology at Monash University in 1992 and graduated with a Bachelor of Computing (Information Systems) in 1996.

Mr Ng entered the information technology industry the following year, spending most of his 29 professional years in retail. Notable organisations include Coles, Specsavers, Munro Footwear and most recently, Bakers Delight. During this time, Mr Ng has steadily progressed from a developer to a member of the C-Suite, taking on a wider range of roles, including Business Analyst, Project Manager, PMO Lead, Applications Manager, and Information Technology Director.

As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Bakers Delight, Mr Ng champions technology as a key contributor to business enablement and success. From operational systems to communications, cybersecurity to automation and AI, the effectiveness and adoption of technology falls on his shoulders.

Mr Ng has led the development and implementation of a new Point-of-Sale system for Coles, enabled the breakneck opening of 100 Specsavers stores in 100 days, and integrated best-of-class digital marketing platforms for Munro Footwear and Bakers Delight. His keen interest in the positive role of technology in business and his reputation for delivering outcomes are his personal brand.

Mr Ng naturalised as an Australian in 2015 and lives with his spouse in the quiet Melbourne suburb of Camberwell. Mr Ng loves the outdoors, alternating between cycling and skiing to match the seasons, with the occasional international trip to explore the wider world and visit his parents in Kuala Lumpur.
