Danny Yeung

Operator

Danny Yeung is best known as the co-founder and CEO of Prenetics, a Hong Kong-based genomics and health diagnostics company that became one of Asia's most prominent health-tech success stories, completing a SPAC merger with Artisan Acquisition Corp and listing on Nasdaq in 2022. His work at Prenetics — spanning consumer DNA testing through the CircleDNA brand and large-scale COVID-19 testing programs — demonstrated his ability to scale data-driven health platforms across Asia and beyond. This intersection of personal data, consumer engagement, and health personalization places him at the crossroads of health tech and data commerce. Yeung's entrepreneurial career spans multiple ventures across Asia, with earlier roles in digital commerce and consumer internet businesses. His background reflects a consistent focus on leveraging data and technology to deliver personalized consumer experiences — a skillset increasingly relevant to the AdTech and MarTech ecosystem as health and wellness brands invest heavily in first-party data strategies and direct-to-consumer engagement. His current venture, IM8, is a premium health and wellness supplement brand where he serves as CEO, continuing his focus on consumer health and personalized wellness. While not a traditional AdTech operator, Yeung's work is notable in the broader ecosystem for its emphasis on consumer data, identity, and personalized engagement at scale in Asian markets.
