Tommie Lo is the founder and chief executive of Preface, the Hong Kong tech-education company that uses artificial intelligence to personalise learning for children, adults and corporate teams while extending its classroom into everyday life through Preface Coffee & Wine. An advocate for practical, social learning, he pairs accredited instruction with community programming to make future skills accessible at street level.

In 2025 he pushed a citywide AI literacy drive with Just Start and Hong Kong’s first AI-Q Test, rallying more than 30 partners from global tech and local institutions. The company also teamed with Manulife to launch AI Creativity: Prompt Your Future Career, a Greater Bay Area competition designed to build students’ digital skills.

Earlier recognition includes an EdTechX Global award, and Preface now counts more than 30,000 learners, a multi-storey headquarters in Causeway Bay, and satellite presences in Tokyo and London as it scales its model beyond Hong Kong.
