Michael Wong\u2019s journey to becoming the CEO of Genea isn\u2019t typical. As an investor at a private equity firm, he learned a lot about what makes a company successful, but had no experience running one. And then Genea came across his desk. \u201cGenea was not even a company at the time, it was more of a technology,\u201d he says. \u201cI thought this technology could be morphed into a great company with all those wonderful characteristics.\u201d   

It was too small for his firm to invest in, but after diligent research into the struggling company, the board asked him to become their CEO. Having never before stepped into this role, it was not an easy decision.   

On this edition of UpTech Report, Michael talks about how he decided to take on this role, and why his experience as an investor told him the company had great potential to succeed.
