“When I realised that my bank account had insufficient funds to pay for my daughter’s school fees of $6, it was truly a wakeup call. That was when I realised it was time to snap out of it and fulfil my role as the head of the family,” said Jonathan Quek, CEO of Globotix at the time of his rude awakening.
This realisation spurred Jonathan on to do something about his career and he ultimately decided to give a go at entrepreneurship once more. Hell-bent on making it a success this time, he went ahead with more grit and determination.Jonathan eventually established Globotix in 2016 to provide smart cleaning technology as a means to address the manpower shortage in the cleaning industry. But, this was no easy feat for him.
After two years of endless tests and fine-tuning the technology, Jonathan finally got his big break in 2018. He had single-handedly clinched a multi-million dollar deal with Changi Airport Group, allowing Globotix to deploy their cleaning robots at the airport. This also presented him with the opportunity to present Globotix’s cleaning robots to numerous ministers from Singapore and ASEAN as well as ambassadors from Japan and France.
