Supermom, a parenting community network, has brought on board Luke Lim as group CEO.

His efforts have contributed to Supermom receiving a series-A funding of SG$8 million from Qualgro and AC Ventures earlier during the year. He is also the founder of Louken group, one of Singapore's largest local brand and digital agencies with clientele across eight markets in APAC. His achievements stem from his passion to see the local start up scene grow and he has been an avid tech start up investor, in-house incubator and co-owner of a venture investing arm.

In his new role, Lim will report to Supermom’s board of directors and will work closely with Joan Ong, the founder of Supermom as well as representatives of the platforms’ two VC firms - Weisheng Neo from Qualgro and Adrian Tan from AC ventures- to provide leadership and direction to the company.

Lim said: “Combining our twin engines of community growth and AI-technology advancements, Supermom is on course to help brands connect to millions of parents in SEA and I am truly honored to take on the reins as the Group CEO. My key area of focus as I take on this role will be on scaling the impact of Supermom’s tech-ecosystem to deliver authentic first-party data, sustainable user-generated content, bringing insights of families to brands operating in Southeast Asia.” 

With a presence in six markets (Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam), Supermom claims to give brands access to its network of over hundreds of millions parents’ social connections across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok with 4800 social communities in Southeast Asia.

Supermom’s tech platform also generates consumer insights to determine marketing strategies, which traditionally takes weeks and months to complete.
