Singapore, June 27, 2025– Kydon Holdings Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based leader in digital learning and workforce development, is proud to announce that Glean Asia, a purpose-driven digital experience agency headquartered in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, has officially joined the Kydon family.
This strategic partnership marks a significant step in Kydon’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable education across Southeast Asia, particularly in underserved and high-potential markets such as Cambodia. Glean Asia, founded by Jesse Orndorff, has earned a reputation for delivering impactful learning experiences to NGOs, development agencies, and social enterprises across the region.
As part of this collaboration, Jesse Orndorff will assume the role of Head of Impact at Kydon. In this capacity, he will lead initiatives aimed at expanding Kydon’s reach in frontier markets and driving social good through accessible learning and capacity-building programs. “This is more than a business decision, it’s a shared mission,” said David Yeo, Founder and CEO of Kydon. “We’ve always believed that people in developing economies have immense potential. By joining forces with Glean Asia and working alongside Jesse, we’re strengthening our ability to serve communities that are too often overlooked, but rich with promise.”
Glean Asia brings deep expertise in building community-centric learning experiences, while Kydon offers a robust platform for enterprise learning, AI-powered knowledge tools, and a strong regional footprint. This partnership will allow Glean Asia to expand its reach and capabilities, while preserving the agility, innovation, and close-knit culture that has defined its journey so far.
“Joining Kydon gives us the reach, resources, and shared values to scale our impact. We’ve always believed our talent in Cambodia could have immense impact globally,” said Jesse Orndorff, Founder of Glean Asia. “We’re excited to channel our experience and relationships in Cambodia and the region into a larger movement for learning equity and workforce readiness.”
This collaboration is a key step in Kydon’s broader strategy to empower the learning-to-livelihood journey across Asia, building pathways that connect education, skills, and job opportunities through both high-tech platforms and high-touch engagement.
As the two teams come together, clients and partners of Glean Asia can expect continued support, enhanced capabilities, and deeper alignment with regional development goals.
