Place of Birth: Hong Kong
Occupation: Founder & CEO of Aereve
Why did you join SFHF?
In addition to having a compassionate heart fueled by an ever-burning passion, SFHF is possessed of a strong sense of urgency. I ultimately joined because I shared the goal of giving talented youngsters from low-income families the support and training they needed to fulfill their sporting dreams. My journey as a faith-driven entrepreneur in the technology space has reinforced my belief in leveraging innovation for social good, a value that aligns perfectly with the Foundation’s mission.
What does SFHF mean to you?
SFHF means 100% funding effectiveness! Myself and my fellow Foundation members are all voluntary workers whose efforts involve zero administrative or labor costs. All moneys we save the Foundation are used to directly sponsor and positively impact young athletes’ lives.
SFHF also means pioneering effective sport-related charitable pilot schemes such as the CUHK Elite Athletes and HK Olympic Federation Sport Legacy initiatives.
What is your role in SFHF?
I work closely with scheme workers, athletes, sports captains, sponsors and the Foundation’s leadership in successfully carrying through SFHF’s missions.
One of my most fulfilling experiences was serving on the panel that listened to potential SFHF beneficiaries’ hardship stories. Several times, I was almost moved to tears by these youngsters’ perseverance in striving to overcome life’s challenges and inspire hope in others by delivering personal best performances in world-class competitions. Seeing how SFHF sponsorship has enabled many needy youngsters to change their lives by achieving their dreams is ultimately incredibly rewarding!
What are your goals at SFHF?
To transform still more dreams into realities and build still more successful track records that will encourage local companies and government bodies to follow SFHF’s lead in supporting deserving young athletes with pressing financial needs. Through my work in technology innovation and ESG leadership, I aim to bridge the gap between Hong Kong’s thriving business community and our talented underprivileged athletes, demonstrating that investing in youth potential delivers returns far beyond the playing field. I believe in creating sustainable models where supporting athletic excellence becomes part of Hong Kong’s corporate social responsibility DNA, ensuring that no talented young person is left behind due to financial constraints.
