Khang Nguyen Trieu
Founder and Fractional Chief Information Officer / Chief Technology Officer
The Way Forward
Khang Nguyen Trieu chairs the Robotics Task Force within the Singapore Hotel Association’s Hotel Innovation Committee, sits on the Singapore Tourism Board’s Tcube innovation workgroup, and serves on the Board of the International French School of Singapore. A Singapore-based fractional CIO/CTO with 25+ years in technology across Europe and Asia, he has held leadership roles in strategy and delivery. In France he worked in leading consultancies, co-founded a startup in the early 2000s, and spent twelve years in tech leadership at www.voyages-sncf.com (now SNCF Connect), an Expedia–SNCF joint venture and one of Europe’s largest online travel platforms. In 2016 he moved to Singapore, later serving as APAC CIO and then Group Chief Technology Architect at Accor, one of the world’s largest hospitality groups (40+ brands including Raffles, Fairmont, Pullman, Novotel, Ibis; 5,500+ hotels).
His community roles reflect two convictions: education shapes the next generation, and responsible technology should improve businesses and society.
From tech legacy to AI: Khang’s work sits where ageing systems and siloed ways of working meet board-level pressure to “add AI now.” He understands the pain of technical debt – in systems, processes, and mindsets – and the CIO’s challenge of cutting complexity while building future capabilities. His belief: technology becomes power when Systems × AI × Tech People are aligned with the business – ethically and sustainably. His north star is practical progress that creates value, reduces waste and risk, lowers carbon and grows people.
Today, as founder of The Way Forward, he partners with Travel & Hospitality leaders across APAC to turn technology into a visible business driver. He aligns Systems × AI × Tech People to deliver outcomes executives care about: focus and alignment between business and tech, lower cost-to-serve, faster time-to-market, greater resilience and sustainability, and safer, value-focused AI adoption. He also runs Geek to Star, a capability program that develops engineers into trusted business partners, extending his commitment to education inside organizations.

Founder and Fractional Chief Information Officer / Chief Technology Officer
The Way Forward
Khang Nguyen Trieu chairs the Robotics Task Force within the Singapore Hotel Association’s Hotel Innovation Committee, sits on the Singapore Tourism Board’s Tcube innovation workgroup, and serves on the Board of the International French School of Singapore. A Singapore-based fractional CIO/CTO with 25+ years in technology across Europe and Asia, he has held leadership roles in strategy and delivery. In France he worked in leading consultancies, co-founded a startup in the early 2000s, and spent twelve years in tech leadership at www.voyages-sncf.com (now SNCF Connect), an Expedia–SNCF joint venture and one of Europe’s largest online travel platforms. In 2016 he moved to Singapore, later serving as APAC CIO and then Group Chief Technology Architect at Accor, one of the world’s largest hospitality groups (40+ brands including Raffles, Fairmont, Pullman, Novotel, Ibis; 5,500+ hotels).
His community roles reflect two convictions: education shapes the next generation, and responsible technology should improve businesses and society.
From tech legacy to AI: Khang’s work sits where ageing systems and siloed ways of working meet board-level pressure to “add AI now.” He understands the pain of technical debt – in systems, processes, and mindsets – and the CIO’s challenge of cutting complexity while building future capabilities. His belief: technology becomes power when Systems × AI × Tech People are aligned with the business – ethically and sustainably. His north star is practical progress that creates value, reduces waste and risk, lowers carbon and grows people.
Today, as founder of The Way Forward, he partners with Travel & Hospitality leaders across APAC to turn technology into a visible business driver. He aligns Systems × AI × Tech People to deliver outcomes executives care about: focus and alignment between business and tech, lower cost-to-serve, faster time-to-market, greater resilience and sustainability, and safer, value-focused AI adoption. He also runs Geek to Star, a capability program that develops engineers into trusted business partners, extending his commitment to education inside organizations.

The Way Forward
Khang Nguyen Trieu chairs the Robotics Task Force within the Singapore Hotel Association’s Hotel Innovation Committee, sits on the Singapore Tourism Board’s Tcube innovation workgroup, and serves on the Board of the International French School of Singapore. A Singapore-based fractional CIO/CTO with 25+ years in technology across Europe and Asia, he has held leadership roles in strategy and delivery. In France he worked in leading consultancies, co-founded a startup in the early 2000s, and spent twelve years in tech leadership at www.voyages-sncf.com (now SNCF Connect), an Expedia–SNCF joint venture and one of Europe’s largest online travel platforms. In 2016 he moved to Singapore, later serving as APAC CIO and then Group Chief Technology Architect at Accor, one of the world’s largest hospitality groups (40+ brands including Raffles, Fairmont, Pullman, Novotel, Ibis; 5,500+ hotels).
His community roles reflect two convictions: education shapes the next generation, and responsible technology should improve businesses and society.
From tech legacy to AI: Khang’s work sits where ageing systems and siloed ways of working meet board-level pressure to “add AI now.” He understands the pain of technical debt – in systems, processes, and mindsets – and the CIO’s challenge of cutting complexity while building future capabilities. His belief: technology becomes power when Systems × AI × Tech People are aligned with the business – ethically and sustainably. His north star is practical progress that creates value, reduces waste and risk, lowers carbon and grows people.
Today, as founder of The Way Forward, he partners with Travel & Hospitality leaders across APAC to turn technology into a visible business driver. He aligns Systems × AI × Tech People to deliver outcomes executives care about: focus and alignment between business and tech, lower cost-to-serve, faster time-to-market, greater resilience and sustainability, and safer, value-focused AI adoption. He also runs Geek to Star, a capability program that develops engineers into trusted business partners, extending his commitment to education inside organizations.
