Eric Leong

Eric’s ambition is to design and facilitate journeys that use the power of collaboration and creative thinking to provoke systemic transformation, catalyze innovation and solve the world’s wicked problems.

After completing a Business degree from the University of Alberta, Eric moved to Victoria to join the Fantan Group in 2010, where he first honed his skills in sales, marketing and project management through initiatives ranging from an outdoor concert for 50,000 people to an exclusive think-tank event for 150 Chinese and Western executives on the Great Wall of China.

During his time at Fantan Group, he was introduced to the MG Taylor methodology through The Value Web, and together with them he has worked on a variety of projects ranging from a startup "Innovation Camp" to a DesignShop that stimulated Vancouver’s creative industries to collaborate as a unified cluster.

In 2012, he made the leap to Asia, traveling in several places like Vietnam and Taiwan before settling in Shanghai. From there, he had the chance to work with ?What If! Innovation Partners before embarking as an independent contractor. Projects with companies including Hyundai, Michelin, EY, Huawei, Microsoft and Roche have led him to be immersed in the market of Tier-5 Chinese cities, organize insights gathering with upper-class households from the UAE, and work with 250 employees of a Fortune 100 company to help themselves transition into a corporate spin-off.

By mid-2014, Eric made the move back to Canada and is presently based in Toronto. Eric is fluent in English, Mandarin and Brazilian Portuguese and is available to work worldwide.
