Mr. Pang’s intimate knowledge of the Blockchain & Tokenization ecosystem as part of the greater global digital economy, coupled with his passion for philanthropy and corporate social responsibility, makes him a valuable addition to an already stellar team that is both diverse in geography and in thought.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Rico as a valued advisor to our growing board. From the second I was introduced to Rico it became immediately clear that we are tightly aligned on our appreciation for the critical role the Blockchain & Tokenization ecosystem will continue to play in all aspects of our lives.

SGV is also an incubator and accelerator that actively participates in the development of the global digital economy, Web3 and metaverse.
As an avid tech investor, Mr. Pang believes in the power of tech as a way to develop talent, reduce inequalities, and subsequently help reduce poverty.
