About Brian Wong
Brian Wong, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary at PG&E, has also been active as a commentator on geopolitics and as an author and speaker on entrepreneurship. In a June 2025 interview, Wong offered three observations on the current global order: that the unipolar system remains present but is not the only dominant force; that the world is trending toward greater complexity and multipolarity but has not yet become a truly multipolar world; and that the biggest rivals to both China and America are "plausibly themselves as opposed to one another." He has described his political theory research as focusing on egalitarianism and compensating for historical and social injustice, and has stated a goal of using his experience to benefit Hong Kong and China. Earlier in his career, Wong was the co-founder and CEO of Kiip, a mobile rewards network. In interviews from 2016 and 2017, he discussed his book "The Cheat Code," advocating for entrepreneurs to focus on their strengths, take on more than they can chew, and use cold emailing as a tool for reaching people. He emphasized that building a company with lasting impact typically takes at least ten years and that generating revenue from day one is critical. Wong also advised that business development is the best first job in a startup because it provides exposure to many functions.
