Leigh Wong
Communications and Public Affairs Leader in Asia
Leigh has built a track record of about 20 years as a brand, communications and public affairs leader, who has effectively built and led teams across multiple countries, to deliver strong business impact amidst some of the most transformative situations and challenging environments.
Currently, he leads the Communications team at Netflix covering 8 countries throughout Asia to achieve strategic goals through corporate, product, consumer, and policy communications initiatives, as well as issues and crisis management. Prior to this, Leigh served successful stints at Uber; Shell; Microsoft; in banking and finance; public policy and government; and as an entrepreneur.
A global citizen, Leigh is comfortable navigating cultural nuances and change - especially having lived, worked and traveled around the world, including extended stays in the US, the UK, Singapore and Malaysia. He is fluent in English and Bahasa/Malay and is conversational in Cantonese and Mandarin. (To impress senior members of the clan, he might occasionally break out his Hainanese!)
Leigh has a Master’s degree in Communications and Bachelor’s degrees in Speech Communications and Philosophy. He attended Oxford University as part of an Honors Exchange Program and has also completed a Harvard Business School Executive Education course.
On the personal front, Leigh avidly advocates for youth development, is a passionate foodie, and is a self-described geek.
