Theresa Lim

Theresa is the Founder & CEO of Play2Lead, a SaaS gamified and social platform headquartered in Singapore that helps companies build sustainably high performing teams with 21st century skills by making training fun, measurable & impactful!!

Theresa is an entrepreneur with a passion for gamification, mobile technology and education. Theresa spent the last 20 years working at blue-chip corporations such as ThoughtWorks, Andersen and Vodafone leading teams in Sales and Marketing, Finance as well as consulting engagements.

Play2Lead was won the Singapore Workforce Development Authority InnovPlus Flame Competition in April 2016, where we partnered with a global Virtual Reality platform provider to provide an integrated VR/mobile learning platform to improve safety training. We also got the 2nd prize on our solution to improve retail training of millenial staff by deepening customer empathy using VR and making microlearning fun through team-based and individual challenges created by trainers on our self-service platform.

Theresa is a recent scholarship holder of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute program, which was seeded in Google. Theresa leads her team at Play2Lead to curate world leading content on EQ and mindfulness, so that learners can increase their 21 century skills as we companies tackle the Fourth Industrial Revolution. She is especially passionate about improving focus, resilience, inclusivity and compassion in the workplace.

Play2Lead is Theresa’s third startup, and was voted Fishburners’ Hustler of the Year 2014. Juggling startup life across two countries, parenting two boy tweens often means that Theresa struggles with prioritizing me-time. Theresa hopes that once her team grows, she can find more time to learn to paint Chinese watercolour like her grandmother, sing jazz tunes (instead of embarrassing her kids singing contemporary songs in public).

Theresa’s most important value is integrity, which she discussed at a Google Female Founders Fireside Chat after Play2Lead graduated from the JFDI Accelerator Program in 2015.
