Pier Lim Top-Executive
AI and data leader with a proven track record of delivering enterprise-scale ML and GenAI solutions across investment, business, and public sectors.
At Temasek, I led the firm’s first GenAI product (Gengini), now integrated with Perplexity, and currently drive AI agent initiatives that connect investment data to natural language interfaces. I also contribute to the AI for Investment Groups (AI4IG) workstream.
My work spans ML Ops, data platforms, GenAI applications, and NLP tools — all built for scale, security, and real-world impact. Earlier roles include managing a $32M defense simulation program, launching a music tech app with 150K+ downloads, and overseeing startup innovation grants at IMDA..
I bridge technical depth with strategic execution to build AI that transforms how organizations think, decide, and operate.
