Zac Cheah is an Erasmus Mundus scholar with a master’s in computing from Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology and a master’s in Security and Mobile Computing from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

After his master’s graduation in 2008, Zac joined Opera Software AS in Norway and Opera software in China. He left Opera in 2013 to co-found Cross platform HTML5 games developer Wozlla in China.

​In 2016, Zac moved to Indonesia and co-founded payments app Pundi. He became the CEO of Pundi X in September 2017.

The project began, of course, with our XPOS, an intelligent, blockchain-based point-of-sales (“POS”) device that makes it easy to buy, sell and transact in cryptocurrencies in physical retail stores.

​We saw this as the ‘last mile’ challenge for future adoption of the blockchain technology and helping to bring the vision of cryptocurrency back toward its initial grounding as a form of spendable, digital cash.
