Profile
From 1977 to 1987, Lee was a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He joined the global accounting firm KPMG and was responsible for all accounting operations in Hong Kong, Los Angeles (USA), and Shanghai (China). From 1988 to February 2007, he served various leadership roles across real estate, hospitality, media, entertainment, and retail businesses under the Lai Sun Group[1][2][3][4].
Between 1992 and 1996, Lee was appointed CEO of the long-loss-making Asia Television Limited (ATV), producing programs such as "News Telex" and acquiring Mainland Chinese dramas like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He eventually left ATV due to cultural differences. In February 2007, he resigned from his positions in the Lai Sun Group after the late Lim Por-yen was detained in Taiwan due to the "Chuang Yu Kun corruption case".
In February 2007, he was appointed General Manager of Finance and Administration at TVB. Following the corruption case involving then-General Manager Stephen Chan, Lee was appointed Executive Director and Group General Manager on 24 March 2010[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. After Norman Leung stepped down as Executive Chairman, Lee was promoted to Chief Executive Officer in 2015, with an annual salary exceeding HKD 10 million[8].
His daughter, Lee Tsz-ching (formerly Lee Tsz-shing), was a weather presenter and finance program host for TVB's English news division[9][10][11].
In April 2020, he succeeded Chinese Communist Party member Li Ruigang as Vice Chairman of the Board[12].
In April 2021, Lee announced early retirement and resigned as Vice Chairman, CEO, and Executive Director of TVB. He officially left office on 27 May. Although rumors suggested he was asked to leave by the board, he denied the claims[13]. The company stated Lee wanted to retire at 65 and spend more time on personal matters[14].
