Introduction:


Prof. Lam is a seasoned business professional and successful serial entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in business development, marketing, management, consultancy, and business start-ups. He has built extensive international connections through his work in global enterprises across Canada, the US, Japan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China.


After graduating from university, Prof. Lam began his career at IBM, focusing on business development and marketing strategies in Mainland China. He was later appointed by a Hong Kong-based company to establish a new office in Canada and oversee marketing development. Upon returning to Hong Kong, Prof. Lam founded his own business, providing technology-based marketing solutions primarily for clients in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Asia, including HSBC, Coca-Cola, MTR, AXA, BMW, McDonald's, IKEA, and 3M. His company was eventually acquired by an investor at a favorable price.


Following the sale of his company, Prof. Lam dedicated more time and energy to knowledge transfer and matching funding for business start-ups. In recent years, he has worked at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, engaging in entrepreneurship projects, international business competitions, MBA program management, and executive training in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Since 2021, Prof. Lam has been appointed as Associate Professor of Teaching at Lingnan University, where he is also the Director of Lingnan Entrepreneurship Education, the DBA Programme Director, and the Associate Director of the Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies, taking care of DBA Programme development, knowledge transfer, and entrepreneurship funding and education.
