Anthony Chow is the CEO and co-founder of igloo, a leading global access management technology company that creates smart locks, devices and enterprise software for homes, commercial properties and infrastructure worldwide. A Stanford University alumnus, Anthony's journey into entrepreneurship began during his tenure as a data scientist at SingTel, coupled with his personal experience as an Airbnb host. Confronted with the hassles of physical key exchanges, he and his cofounder recognized a critical challenge in the burgeoning sharing economy. This insight led to the birth of igloo at the end of 2015, and the company’s vision for a world without keys has gone from strength to strength. Since its launch, igloo has grown to partner with 5,000 (and counting!) businesses globally, including Airbnb, CapitaLand, Zillow and many more, supporting over 1 billion unlocks annually. The company’s laser-focus on user experience has garnered it prestigious awards including the CES Innovation Honoree Award, the Red Dot Design Award, and the iF Design Award. In 2023, the company also became the first company in the world to send a smart padlock to the harsh environments of space, demonstrating its cutting-edge technology in an out-of-this world environment. Under his leadership, igloo has expanded to eight regional offices worldwide, including London and Austin, Texas with its story featured in many international publications like Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. The company has been named Forbes Asia to Watch 100 in 2022, NextGen Asia 2024, Singapore's Fastest Growing Companies 2025, HR Tech Asia Best Workplace Culture & Engagement 2025, and most recently International Start Up of the Year at the Austin, Texas A-List Awards 2025.
