Ang has been involved with ASME since 2009, when he joined the organisation as a council member.[1][2] Before becoming president, he held the positions of vice-president for membership and training, and vice-president for strategy and development.[1][2] He also served as chairman of the Global Ready Talent Programme and SME Centre@ASME, the latter of which was set up by Enterprise Singapore to provide business advisory services to local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).[1][2]

Career

Business career

Ang trained as a mechanical engineer before entering the technology sector.[3] He is the managing director and founder of The Adventus Consultants Pte Ltd, described by public profiles as a digital solutions or web consultancy company.[1][4][2]

ASME

Ang joined ASME as a council member in 2009.[1][2] In the years before his presidency, he served for 12 years as a vice-president of the association.[3] In December 2023, he was elected unopposed as ASME president for a two-year term, succeeding Kurt Wee.[3] Public profiles published in 2025 described this as his election to ASME's 28th Executive Council.[1][2]

As president, Ang said that ASME would focus on improving policy recommendations, encouraging SME collaboration, and helping firms pursue growth abroad.[3] He argued that, in Singapore's high-cost environment, smaller businesses could improve their prospects by working together and seeking overseas opportunities.[3]

In January 2025, The Straits Times described Ang as serving his second year as ASME president after 12 years as vice-president.[5] In the interview, he said Singapore's domestic market had become a "red ocean" for SMEs and argued that local firms needed to venture overseas, collaborate more closely, and pursue larger shared opportunities.[5]

In December 2025, The Business Times reported that Ang had been elected for a second term as ASME president, and that the association had unveiled its 29th council and strategic priorities for 2026.[6] According to the report, the newly elected council would focus on the "tangible implementation" of initiatives to help SMEs scale and enter new markets.[6]

Under Ang's leadership, ASME launched the SME Unite programme, aimed at helping smaller firms build strategic alliances, consortiums, joint ventures, and mergers and acquisitions pathways as part of an "inorganic growth" strategy.[6] The association also said it would expand market-access initiatives into South-east Asia and China.[6]

Singapore Business Federation

Ang serves as chairman of the SME Committee of the Singapore Business Federation.[7] The federation describes the committee as a body that brings together government, trade associations and chambers, and business leaders to address concerns facing the SME community.[7]

Public positions

Ang has publicly advocated collaboration, internationalisation, and capability-building for Singapore SMEs.[3][6][5] In 2024, he said ASME would champion collaboration among SMEs and support firms looking for opportunities abroad.[3] In 2025, he argued that high operating costs, labour shortages, and intensified competition meant that local SMEs could no longer rely on "business as usual".[5]

He has also spoken on wider labour and workplace issues affecting SMEs. In 2025, he appeared on the Singapore Unpacked podcast by the Institute of Policy Studies to discuss flexible work arrangements and how they affect employers and employees in Singapore.[2]

Public speaking

Ang has appeared as a speaker at public industry events including the Singapore FinTech Festival.[1] His Singapore FinTech Festival speaker profile describes him as ASME president and notes his earlier roles within the association.[1]
