Chris Brown
“Lean Startup – a bootstrapping guide for budding entrepreneurs”
Software developer, entrepreneur, and general geek, Chris is a vocal and omnipresent figure in Cambodia’s burgeoning hacker community. Chris has founded or partnered in several software startups which are proud to have built their products in Cambodia and sold them globally. Chris is an active member of the Barcamp movement, attending and speaking at events across the region, and is also a founding member of the up-and-coming Phnom Penh HackerSpace. Chris’s vision is for Cambodia’s software sector to leap-frog its neighbors by skipping IT outsourcing and moving straight to product-focused startups fueled by the entrepreneurial spirit that Cambodia has in abundance.
Sithen Sum
“Self-Education: Something helpful you hardly find at schools…”
Sithen is the co-owner of CallMe translation services, which he started up with no capital. He is also General Representative of “Kon Khmer Koun Khmer,” a film collective run by Cambodian young volunteers, and the President of “Mastermind Club.” His current project is the “Cambodian Hero Web Site,” documenting prominent historic and living Cambodian nationals. Sithen says, “All these involvements are the results or parts of what I call ‘Self-Education,’ which is a long-time, yet unused tool of learning and sharing things with Cambodian future leaders.”

Chris Noble is the General Manager for WorldNomads.com, a leading global travel insurance company.

Chris’ passion for travel, marketing, social media, travel philanthropy, and customer engagement has helped position WorldNomads.com as one of the most innovative travel services companies online. When he’s not wrestling with his kids and twittering from obscure locations, he can be found travelling off the beaten track, shooting documentaries, and wishing he could hold a tune in Karaoke.
