Leon Ho is the Founder and CEO of Lifehack, which he started in 2005 as a way to share his personal productivity hacks to make life easier. Since then, he has become an internationally recognized personal development expert through his pioneering work at Lifehack.

Leon began as a software engineer at Red Hat, where he quickly became the youngest manager in the whole company, overseeing a global team to coordinate software projects. It was not long before he realized that simple hard work was not enough to cope with the increasing complexity and workload. Before "leverage" became a common business buzzword, Leon was finding ways to go beyond his "fixed ability".  

To level up his productivity he invested heavily in reading books on productivity and management, testing them himself through trial and error. Before long, he quickly outpaced the demands of his work and by his mid-20s had already successfully managed over 150 engineering projects. In the span of less than 5 years, he had achieved more than what other project managers could do in 10.  

Leon realized that this information was not only life-changing for himself, but for anyone in the world who were stuck somewhere in their lives. It led him to leave the traditional career ladder, and dedicate it instead to spreading this knowledge through Lifehack.

Since then, Leon has taken Lifehack from a small blog and turned it into a global platform with millions of readers. Starting from simple productivity hacks, Lifehack now covers almost all aspects of work and personal life including motivation, health, relationships, and parenting.  

Lifehack has linked up experts and contributors from all over the world to share their valuable knowledge and experience, and Leon continues to lead it forward from the helm discovering better ways, better ideas, and better perspectives.
