Biography of Speaker:

Angela Chiu
Currently the Senior Marketing Manager – Consumers Engagement for Tommy Hilfiger Asia-Pacific. Over my 10+ years of experience, I have managed digital marketing across different industries including Banking, FMCG, and Fashion, and different markets in Asia Pacific. I have also worked with and managed people from different nationalities. A lot of my time has been spent on engaging consumers via digital marketing initiatives, including broadening fashion show audience from the 800 people on venue to 8,000 general consumers; driving double-digital growth of leads generation in a bank, contributing 40% year-on-year business growth for a beauty contact lens. Hong Kong is my home town, I was born and educated here. I am a Tennis fanatic, an amateur photographer and I find cooking is therapeutic. I also run a care group for my church and participate in some voluntary services for the city.
