Sharing some news: effective 1 September 2026, I'll be joining UBS Optimus Foundation as an Independent Director of their Hong Kong branch.
This connection didn't start today. I joined the UBS Global Philanthropy Group Climate Change Collective some years ago, and that's where the relationship with UBS on the philanthropic side really began. Stepping into this role feels like a natural next chapter of that work, not a new one.
The Foundation, by the numbers
Since 1999, UBS Optimus Foundation has raised nearly USD 2 billion and reached 44 million people across health, education, and climate & environment — with a principle I deeply respect:
USD 2B

Of every dollar goes
directly to the cause

“I've always believed in making an impact where I can — even a small one adds up.
If this role lets me help the Foundation reach a little further, or helps the planet by even
a little, that's enough for me.”
Looking forward to the work ahead. 🌏
