Hang Kei Simon Wong

Simon Wong is VP of Strategy & Transformation at Milacron, a $560M plastics-processing OEM owned by Bain Capital Special Situations. He sits on the operating leadership team and co-leads the strategy, corporate development, enterprise and AI transformation.

What he backs is mostly atoms. Physical AI, reindustrialization, food and agriculture. Nine Unreasonable Collective vehicles since 2021: cultured milk, air-based protein, mycoprotein, prefab housing, building electrification, ventilation, pharmacy packaging, waste chemistry, pet food.

Fun fact, he did a year sabbatical and skiied across Greenland - a 600km across the ice cap in 32 days, then 400km of the Northwest Passage over the frozen Arctic Ocean for 21 days. The appetite for that started earlier. Twenty-three Ironmans, Kona in 2022, then mountains from 2016: four of the Seven Summits and both versions of the seventh.

Further back: the first Teach For America corps in Jacksonville in 2008, a stint as a data scientist at The New York Times, a policy job at the Charles Koch Institute.
