WONG Yuet Yeung, Harry
Founder and CEO,
Savewo Ltd
Graduate of 2003
(BBA-Marketing)

During my time as a student majoring in marketing, I grasped all available opportunities to develop into a versatile person through joining activities such as the Young Leadership Development Programme, AIA Leadership Training Programme, Chinese Debate Team and English Debate Team. I also interned for a month at the Beijing factory of Abbott Laboratories, where I experienced commercial culture outside of Hong Kong. Due to my active participation in community services I was rewarded with the Outstanding Service Award for Tertiary Students. By the time I graduated, I was well equipped enough to be hired in a short time by a public relations company and was competent enough to stay in the job.

In today’s fast changing society, people need to have a broad assortment of general skills and knowledge. In particular, when facing adversity, one needs outstanding market acumen and dynamic ability, and should practice self improvement by rapidly absorbing and utilizing skills and information from all sorts of fields. I recently exemplified the above by leading my team of employees to swim against the current and find the way out in the ongoing epidemic. My recent efforts were reinforced by the multi-faceted skills that I established on the strong foundation provided by my liberal arts education at Lingnan. These skills enable me to find the appropriate direction by thinking from multiple perspectives in different business environments, and achieve what I am today.
