Tan Min-Liang

Tan Min-Liang co-founded Razer in 2005, turning his passion for gaming into a global lifestyle brand for gamers. What started with high-performance gaming peripherals built in a small San Diego office has since grown into an influential tech powerhouse with a fan base spanning over 150 million users worldwide.

A trained lawyer turned entrepreneur, Tan has expanded Razer’s product portfolio to include laptops, consoles, chairs, audio systems, wearables, and software ecosystems—all designed with the gamer in mind. Under his leadership, Razer raised US$528 million in its oversubscribed IPO in Hong Kong in 2017, and in 2022, the company was successfully taken private with a valuation of US$3.2 billion.

In 2025, Tan launched Razer’s AI Centre of Excellence in Singapore, the first in a trio of global AI hubs aimed at transforming gaming innovation. Backed by Digital Industry Singapore, the centre will hire 150 AI specialists and lead the development of tools like Razer Game Co-AI and QA Co-AI, which empower developers with real-time player coaching, automated quality testing, and intelligent game design workflows.

The company is also building out its proprietary developer platform, WYVRN, and expanding into immersive haptics, spatial audio, and Razer Chroma lighting integration—marking a new phase of hardware-software synergy.

A self-described “gamer for life,” Tan blends community insight with relentless innovation. Razer’s Southeast Asia HQ, launched in 2021 in Singapore’s One-North tech hub, exemplifies his vision—sustainably built and future-facing. Tan continues to redefine the gaming experience, pushing boundaries in AI, fintech, and immersive tech, all while building one of the most recognisable gamer brands in the world.
