Jon Lee, Founder and CEO of VIZZIO Technologies, said:
"I am delighted to welcome Yeow Koon and Raymond to the VIZZIO family. Each of them brings world‑class experience in defence and security, global investments and capital markets access - exactly the capabilities we need as we prepare for a supersonic 2026. Our ambition is to build the Asian Palantir and their decision to join us is a strong validation of the technology and the mission we are pursuing."
Yeow Koon Tay, Chief Technology Officer, said:
"VIZZIO is building some of the most exciting IP I have seen in the security and surveillance space. Since entering the camera market just in 2025, the company has already made a significant impact with its AI‑driven solutions. The R&D pipeline is equally compelling - from cameras on robot dogs to sensors on drones and other autonomous platforms, the possibilities for intelligent, always‑on systems that enhance safety and resilience are almost limitless."
Raymond Chiam, Chief Strategy Officer, said:
"Singapore companies have long gone overseas, but VIZZIO is one of the first deep‑tech players to achieve this level of progress and partnership - and at such speed - in Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 and beyond represents a massive opportunity and it is inspiring to see a relatively small Singapore firm play a meaningful role in this nation‑building effort. Being part of that journey and helping VIZZIO scale globally from this base, is extremely exciting."
Shahrin Abdol Salam, CEO, Middle East, said:
"VIZZIO is at the beginning of a very compelling growth story. The opportunities ahead in Singapore, across Southeast Asia, the Middle East and beyond are enormous. It is encouraging to see the company investing in the right people, opening strategic offices where customers and projects are and building the organisational depth to support scale. I fully expect VIZZIO to look dramatically different 12 months from now as it captures more of this global opportunity."
