Andrew Yap was Co-Founder of BOOKXCESS & BIG BAD WOLF Books. Andrew has revolutionised bookselling in Malaysia and beyond. Along the way, he has grown BookXcess from a single store to a network of 20 unique stores across the Peninsula and in Singapore (in partnership with OCBC Bank), brought Big Bad Wolf – the World’s Biggest Book Sale – to 37 cities in 15 countries, and successfully pivoted the group’s businesses to an online and hybrid model over the course of the pandemic. Driven for 16 years by the mission to make great books available at affordable prices and increase English literacy, Andrew is now leading the next phase of the group’s expansion, focusing on the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. Through the combination of massive sale events, ingeniously designed stores and innovative online selling and marketing, Andrew is reimagining not just book-selling but the broader retail industry. He remains dedicated to changing the world, one book at a time. |
