Aaron Ang

Co-Founder · Hesed&Emet Advisory

Forged at Singapore's Cyber Security Agency, where he helped shape national cyber playbooks before anyone called it a vibe. Now he runs point at Hesed&Emet Advisory — the firm quietly advising Singapore's sharpest orgs on where AI, cybersecurity, and human behaviour actually collide.

When he's not translating emerging tech into strategy for boardrooms, he's onstage at Asia's biggest AI and security summits, quoted by regional media when things go sideways, and steering youth-led national defence as VP at DDAS — a cornerstone of Singapore's Total Defence.

His mission for APEX 2026: forge a new class of AI-fluent, cyber-aware, creatively dangerous youth. If you leave this bootcamp the same person you walked in as, he hasn't done his job.
