The Principal
Mr. Leak Yim
Mr. Leak Yim is a Cambodia-born entrepreneur whose career spans more than five decades of business building across Southeast Asia. Beginning with foundational enterprises in real estate and trade, he has grown the Yim family's footprint into a multi-sector, multi-jurisdictional operation that touches the lives of thousands of people across the region.
His philosophy is rooted in long-term value creation: acquiring strategically positioned assets, developing sustainable businesses, and reinvesting returns into both growth and community. Today, the Yim family holds significant positions in real estate, technology infrastructure, and logistics across Thailand, Cambodia, and Singapore.
As a principled leader and devoted father, Mr. Yim is equally committed to formalizing the family's governance and ensuring a seamless legacy for the generations that follow.
