• Repartir de zéro pour transformer les difficultés en opportunités
• Persévérance, apprentissage continu et adaptabilité

Watch and hear Shane Chiang as he shares his personal journey of overcoming academic struggles, financial hardships and career setbacks to illustrate the Power of Zero; the ability to start afresh and turn challenges into opportunities. From repeating Primary 2 and taking on menial jobs to becoming a Chief Marketing Officer at Nokia and subsequently founding his own cybersecurity company, he demonstrates that one's beginnings do not determine one's future. He emphasises the importance of perseverance, continuous learning and having the courage to embrace new beginnings. Through his experiences, he encourages us to view failures as opportunities for growth rather than reasons to give up. The message is simple; yet profound: No matter how many times you start from zero...you always have the power to rewrite your story. Shane Chiang is the Founder and CEO of Momentum Z, a cybersecurity, AI governance and digital trust consultancy advising organisations across Asia. Currently pursuing a Doctorate in Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability, he advocates curiosity, adaptability and continuous learning in navigating technological change. His journey reflects The Power of Zero; that progress can begin without certainty, through the willingness to start, learn and keep building.
