Tech Founder & Transformational Leader
Anna Gong is a transformational technology leader, global founder, and board advisor who has spent more than two decades building and scaling businesses across Silicon Valley, Singapore, Japan, and major markets throughout the US, APAC, and EMEA. She is widely respected for turning ambiguity into clarity, transforming legacy organizations into modern digital businesses, and architecting commercial models that create durable enterprise value.
As Founder & Chairwoman of Perx Technologies, Anna took the business from a failing B2C startup to a high-growth B2B SaaS platform serving global banks, telcos, insurers, and consumer brands. As CEO, she led a full turnaround, raised over US$25M as a solo female founder, and scaled Perx into 20+ markets, establishing one of the first enterprise SaaS platforms from Singapore to expand globally.

She sits on the Advisory Board of Duke Corporate Education, helping senior leadership teams navigate disruption and reinvention, and previously served on the board of GeniusU, supporting its journey from private company to NYSE listing. She also advises Omniyat, an ultra-luxury real estate developer in the UAE, on their multi-year digital and AI transformation.
"Anna's worldview has been shaped not only by headline successes but also by ventures that failed. She speaks candidly about leadership mistakes, difficult turnarounds, investor nightmares, and the lessons earned through grit — experiences that strengthened her judgment, resilience, and empathy as a leader."
Through Infinia Global, her advisory firm, Anna partners with founders, CEOs, and boards to modernize go-to-market models, redesign products and platforms, transform culture and talent, and build operating systems capable of scale and sustained profitability. This mix of wins and scars fuels her commitment to advancing the next generation of leaders and founders who lead with courage, data & AI literacy, and moral clarity.

How I Work With Leaders at Critical Inflection Points
I bring CEO-level operating experience across growth, turnaround, and global scale; board and investor fluency; deep GTM and enterprise deal strategy; product and platform leadership for SaaS and AI-enabled businesses; and a track record of building teams, cultures, and ecosystems that perform under pressure.
CEO & Board Advisory
Strategy, governance, and value creation when the stakes are highest.
I partner with CEOs and boards navigating growth plateaus, reinvention, AI disruption, and capital decisions. I help align strategy, governance, and leadership so organizations move decisively — not reactively.
What this includes: Board-level strategy • Capital allocation • Investor alignment • Governance & decision frameworks
GTM & Enterprise Transformation
Designing revenue engines that scale across markets and complexity.
I design and rebuild go-to-market systems — pricing, packaging, partnerships, and operating cadence — to unlock sustainable growth across startup and enterprise environments.
What this includes: GTM architecture • Pricing & commercial models • Enterprise deal strategy • Global expansion (APAC, EMEA, Americas)
AI-Era Leadership & Operating Models
Translating AI ambition into practical, human-aligned execution.
I help leadership teams identify where AI creates real leverage, redesign workflows, and implement governance and human-in-the-loop models that are responsible, scalable, and trusted.
What this includes: AI leverage mapping • Operating model redesign • Oversight & guardrails • Leadership alignment
Founder & Executive Coaching
Decision maturity, resilience, and clarity in complexity.
I work selectively with founders and senior leaders navigating identity shifts, board pressure, or inflection moments that demand sharper judgment and confidence.
What this includes: Founder transitions • Board dynamics • Crisis navigation • Leadership presence
Speaking Engagements & Media Presence
