As one of the founding engineers in Zopim, Royston led the development of the business-facing dashboard in the early years. When the potential of Zopim became clear, he took the reins as CEO and raised seed investment in 2010 to accelerate growth. Today, as GM of Messaging within Zendesk, he leads a team within a global organization that is passionate about sculpting the future of customer engagement.
Agrim Singh
LEGENDARY HACKATHON EXTRAORDINAIRE
Upbeat, articulate and socially savvy, Agrim Singh is an absolute far cry from the stereotypical awkward portrait of a hacker. In fact, he has won so many hackathons that he is now barred from competing in certain events such as Startathon, and is asked to mentor competitors instead. One of Agrim’s most savoured wins was clinched at Tech-in-Asia’s startup hackathon in 2014, where his team proposed a virtual pub social sharing platform for Manchester United’s Southeast Asian fanbase. Another memorable win was at Budweiser's Dream Brewery Hackathon in February, where his team built a drunk detector and also pitched for a machine that is able read personalities, choosing to dispense alcohol according to certain profiles.
Lest we forget, we've prepared a great buffet spread and lots of drinks for you. Come get your bellies (and minds) filled at this awesome Masterclass created just for you! ;)
