Timothy Wong builds AI systems that turn data and AI into decisions and decisions into growth. As Global VP of Data & AI at Airwallex, he leads the data, AI, and growth technology organisation across one of the world's fastest-growing fintechs.

His core thesis: the next generation of high-performing companies won't just use AI for insights. They'll build AI-native decision systems - agents with context, memory, and skills, embedded into how teams operate, sell, and grow. Moving from "time to insight" to "time to action."

At Airwallex, this means shipping production AI systems under financial regulation across multiple jurisdictions - AI agents that reason over business context, drive growth, and operate with humans in control.

Before Airwallex, Timothy built the China data science team at Airbnb from zero to one, then served as Chief of Staff to Airbnb China's CEO leading strategy, analytics, and new business incubation. He led analytics at Kuaishou (one of China's largest consumer platforms) and started his career at Zong, a mobile payments startup acquired by PayPal, where he spent the next five years across analytics and growth.
