Former banker and board member of the Hong Kong Ballet and Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre talks to us about the next steps of her philanthropic work
A Cornell University graduate and a mother of two, Anne was working in banking before she found her calling in charitable work. Dedicating much of her post-work life to NGOs in Hong Kong and the US, including Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre, an organisation that provides free practical, emotional, and psychosocial support for patients and their family members affected by cancer, where she sits on the board of governors, Anne is known as an avid philanthropist whose work has made a significant impact in Hong Kong.
Juggling multiple roles at the same time, Anne believes in giving back to the community and supporting future generations, which is evident in her role as the co-chair of the Hong Kong Ballet Guild, where she devotes her time promoting ballet and making the arts accessible to children from different backgrounds in Hong Kong. In ‘The Next Step’ series where we pose six questions to Hong Kong-based philanthropic women about their philanthropic work, we asked Anne about her milestones, what motivates her, and her current and future projects.
