Boards
At a young age appointed as executive director, corporate governance and compliance was always close at heart. Working in the ATIC industry Code-of-Ethics or Code-of-Conducts are a lifeline or reason of existence for industries. Working across jurisdictions setting up companies or helping SME’s with compliance a further curiosity on qualifications and credibility of board memberships led to further professional preparations to fulfil such roles in a compliant manner. Becoming a fellow of the Hong Kong Institute of Directors based on past experiences and attending numerous CPD’s as well as board related and practitioner trainings on ESG and corporate governance has prepared me to enhance my further career into an INED portfolio future.
