Wan Qing is the Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Hatch, an impact-driven startup at the intersections of digital accessibility and social innovation. The company started with a dream for a more equitable world where opportunities are readily available and accessible to those who deserve them. Today, Hatch runs a digital skills academy with programs that cater to the everyday folk, alongside a digital media agency which offers one-stop solutions to small and medium-sized organisations.

As part of its social mission, the company adopts an intentional approach in tackling systemic socio-economic barriers. That means going to where support is most needed and working with ecosystem partners to create lasting and impactful change. Amongst its impact-focused programs is a digital employability program for out-of-school and at-risk youths as well as a digital skills program for low-income tertiary students. These programs are often first of its kind, made possible by the company’s close network of both industry and social sector organisations.

Wan Qing is drawn to the delicate space of complexity between certainty and chaos, where she immerses herself in the process of exploring and creating. She treasures the authentic encounters with people she meets and enjoys learning about why they do the work that they do.
