Many people believe that 2023 will be the year when artificial intelligence (AI) explodes and the decades of toil, tears and sweat of industry pioneers bear fruit. “People working in AI have persevered not because we saw hope. We’ve held on because that’s the only way to find hope,” said Nixon Chau (EMBA 2015), Managing Director and General Manager of SenseTime Hong Kong.

Lovinia Chiu (EMBA 2013), the chairman and CEO of Medialink Group Limited, appears to have the Midas touch. She has distributed countless massively popular TV dramas, animations and movies, from timeless classics like Jewel in the Palace (Dae Jang Geum) and Meteor Garden to the recent Jujutsu Kaisen and the eagerly awaited return of Slam Dunk. She has also managed a venerated brand’s licensing business and built an IP empire from the ground up.

A civil engineer by training, Derrick Pang (EMBA 2007) returned to Hong Kong after graduating from university to join his family’s construction company. He worked at construction sites and closely monitored every project placed under his charge, even helping to lay gravel on the railway tracks when duty called. As he worked his way up to CEO, he gradually gained the trust of the team. Now, he is leading Chun Wo, the storied construction and engineering company, in its transformation into Asia Allied Infrastructure Holdings Limited, all while driving the industry forward.
