At Jardines, I oversee the performance of the Group and our portfolio of businesses across Asia. Together with the Chairman, I champion Jardines’ culture and values, as well as the development of leaders across the Group. Our focus is to create long-term, sustainable value for the Group, our communities and our stakeholders.Joining Jardines almost three decades ago, I had the opportunity to serve in various executive leadership roles across the Group. In 2020, I was appointed as Group Managing Director of Jardine Matheson, with responsibility for developing and executing the Group’s strategy in alignment with the Board. In addition to my role as GMD, I am also chair of DFI Retail and Jardine Cycle & Carriage, as well as a commissioner of Astra and director at Hongkong Land. I graduated from the University of Toronto (Trinity College) and completed my MBA from INSEAD, with distinction. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am passionate about the arts, reading and running. I serve as a board member of M+ Museum and am a trustee of the Asian Cultural Council. I am also a governor of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong.
