Joseph Ong is the founder, chairman, and managing director of one of Singapore's most established F&B and lifestyle companies — 1 Group, which owns and manages close to 30 restaurants and bars, including Monti, 1-Altitude Coast, 1918 Heritage Bar, Beesknees, and more. Joseph shares how his unlikely journey to success — which began in a rental flat when he was growing up — was paved with hard work and a fervent belief in collective leadership.
