Aung Kyaw Moe represented Myanmar at the 2012 Chess Olympiad in Istanbul and now serves as Vice President of the Myanmar Chess Federation. An early member and devoted supporter of Bangkok Chess Club, his love for the game runs deep.

When his friend Nigel Short mentioned that Antarctica was missing from his career, Aung decided to turn that idea into reality. A serial fintech entrepreneur, Aung is best known as the founder of 2C2P, the Southeast Asia payment platform acquired by Ant Group, and was named one of Asia’s Top 25 Entrepreneurs by BusinessWeek. He is bringing the same builder’s instinct for turning ideas into reality to the Polar Chess Expedition.
