Chef James Won
The chef who has held the standard
James MF Won is a France-knighted chef and the culinary authority ChefPro.ai is built on. In 2024 he became the first Malaysian chef to hold the Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite Agricole, the French Republic's order for agricultural and gastronomic merit, adding to his 2019 Chevalier of the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne.
He trained in three-Michelin-star kitchens in France and Japan, built eight restaurant concepts over twelve years (Enfin, Shin'Labo), and became Malaysia's first Krug Ambassade Chef.
He is an Adjunct Professor at Taylor's University Culinary Institute, within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Leisure Management, where he has taught since 2021.
His French Borneo philosophy, developed with the Biodiversity Centre of Sarawak and presented at Expo 2025 Osaka, is the first configured instance the platform was built to prove, not the identity of ChefPro.ai, which stays cuisine-neutral by design.
