Making a stronger connection with Australia. The Australian Superannuation and Asset Manager sectors are very dynamic, but not without their challenges.
The ability to listen. No difference [between Aus & HK re this skill] - the world of financial services is global.
Be open to change.
Introvert by nature (though forced to be become more of an extrovert to succeed in financial services).
Waiter and factory worker during University. State Street was my first job after graduating from University. I've been at State Street for 25 years.
I've been very involved coaching and refereeing mini and youth rugby in HK - but just might prefer football (soccer).
