Short Bio / Excerpt:
Dr. Peter Y. H. Wong is an accomplished technology executive, research scientist, and entrepreneur recognized for his extensive leadership in digital innovation. Operating globally between Hong Kong and Paris, France, he is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Phaeth (frequently stylized as Phaeth), an international company launched in 2026 that specializes in building predictive, self-learning digital twins. With over two decades of experience spanning academic research, enterprise B2B software engineering, and corporate leadership, Dr. Wong has established a reputation for successfully scaling technology stacks from early-stage startups to public markets.
His profound technical knowledge is grounded in an elite academic trajectory completed at some of the world’s leading research institutions. He earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Computer Science from the University of Warwick. Driven by an interest in complex systems, he transitioned to the University of Oxford, where he completed his Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) in Computer Science. His academic research focuses heavily on formal methods in industrial software, process algebra (CSP), Z notation, software product lines, and workflow processes, accumulating an extensive bibliography of journal articles and conference papers on formal verification.
Dr. Wong’s early corporate career bridges the gap between deep mathematics and global finance. He spent half a decade as a Senior Engineer at the e-commerce discovery firm Fredhopper, before serving as a Software Engineer at the global financial institution UBS. He later relocated to London to become the Head of Engineering at Travelex between 2015 and 2017. Throughout this twelve-year era in enterprise software development, he honed specialized expertise in designing resilient cloud architectures, building distributed systems, and deploying large-scale business process models.
Transitioning into executive healthcare leadership, Dr. Wong spent eight years driving digital transformations from inception to the global market. He served as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Prenetics from 2017 to 2025, orchestrating the technology strategy that propelled the digital health organization from a localized venture into a corporate unicorn, culminating in its historic initial public offering (IPO). Following this success, he briefly assumed the mantle of CTO at the functional wellness brand ANKH before moving on to establish his own international venture.
Today, as the leader of Phaeth, Dr. Wong applies artificial intelligence and data science to revolutionize industrial digital twin technologies alongside co-founder Adrien Coutarel. Outside his executive commitments, he maintains a strong tie to the global scientific community by participating as a committee member and reviewer across major international computer science venues. By combining his rigorous foundations in Oxford-taught computer science with real-world hyper-growth business experience, Dr. Wong continues to sit at the vanguard of modern technological architecture.
