Career
Ken Yeung was appointed CEO and Executive Director of TOM Group in March 2008.[1][2][3][4] Before joining TOM Group, Yeung served as a Director of Victoria Harbour Investment Group Limited and as CEO of ChinaCare Investment Holdings Limited.
Yeung worked for over six years with McKinsey & Company in Sydney, Melbourne, and Greater China, providing consulting services for business strategy, corporate transformation, and operational management primarily for clients in telecommunications, electronics, media, and e-commerce industries. He later held several managerial positions at GE Asia Pacific and Coca-Cola China Limited.
Since joining TOM Group, Yeung has maintained a tech-driven management style, focusing on expanding the company's Internet business.[5] In several media interviews, he expressed his belief in China's potential to develop a cross-media market. As the new leader of TOM Group, he emphasized the company’s cross-media strategy, implementing an internal integration model of “combining products, aggregating partners,”[6][7] to consolidate resources such as products, users, and business operations. Externally, Yeung emphasized aggregating domestic and international content, technology, and telecom partners to jointly develop and introduce innovative wireless internet products, aiming to provide users with online, offline, and wireless services.
Yeung spearheaded various collaborations under this technology-first strategy. In Q1 2008, TOM partnered with Stardoll[8][9] to offer celebrity fashion, entertainment, and social networking services. In Q3, TOM Group formed a long-term strategic partnership with the NBA China Company, becoming the exclusive official partner for NBA websites in Greater China, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.[10][11][12][13][14][15] The NBA’s Mainland China website launched in October 2008. In early 2009, TOM Group and China Post Group Corporation signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop domestic e-commerce.
After publishing its 2008 annual report, Yeung and his management team voluntarily gave up or took only symbolic year-end bonuses to show their commitment to sharing the company’s ups and downs.[16]
