He was one of Google's earliest engineers.  After a successful 8-year stint in Engineering and 2 years as GoogleEDU's Head of Personal Growth, he now serves with Google's Talent Team.  His current job description is, "Enlighten minds, open hearts, create world peace".

Outside of Google, Meng is the Founder and (Jolly Good) President of the Tan Teo Charitable Foundation, dedicated to promoting Peace, Liberty and Enlightenment in the world.  He is a Founding Patron of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), a Founding Patron of the World Peace Festival, and adviser to a number of technology start-ups.

Meng was featured on the front page of the New York Times and delivered a TED talk at the United Nations.  He has met three United States Presidents.  The Dalai Lama gave him a hug for his 40th birthday. His personal motto is, "Life is too important to be taken seriously".

Meng hopes to see every workplace in the world become a drinking fountain for happiness and enlightenment.  His upcoming book is titled, Search Inside Yourself.
