Career
Wai Hun started her career as a consultant at Ernst & Young.

Wai Hun and John Lim started Natsoft(M) Sdn Bhd, the parent company of JurisTech in 1997 amidst the Asian Financial Crisis. Their company was initially poised to sell data mining, AI, and data analytics tools and services to banks. However, the initial offering was not successful because the markets were not ready for data mining and AI solutions at the time, and additionally, few companies could afford such services in the immediate aftermath of the Asian Financial Crisis. Then Wai Hun and John Lim decided to offer debt collection and litigation software to cope with existing market needs.{{cite web|url=https://themalaysianreserve.com/2017/04/03/tech-duo-with-flair-for-accomplishing-critical-missions-across-industries/|title=Tech duo with flair for accomplishing critical missions across industries |website=The Malaysian Reserve|date=3 April 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/business/sme/2014/04/03/banking-on-ai-software-companys-products-gain-traction-in-financial-institutions/|title=Software company's products gain traction in financial institutions |website=The Star Online}}{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalnewsasia.com/startup-scaleups/creating-financial-change?page=2|title=Creating financial change|website=Digital News Asia|date=15 August 2016|accessdate=2018-06-28}}{{cite web|url=http://www.focusmalaysia.my/Enterprise/building-a-business-on-necessity|title=Building a business on necessity|publisher=}}{{cite web|url=http://www.foundersasia.com/profile.html?profileID=237|title=Welcome to Founders Asia|website=Founders Asia}}
