Pansy Ho Chiu-king, winner of Business Person of the Year award in the DHL/SCMP Hong Kong Business Awards, is at the helm as managing director of Shun Tak Holdings.self storage Daughter of businessman Stanley Ho, Pansy Ho has led the group to reformulate its core businesses and evolved into a leading conglomerate in transport, tourism, property and lifestyle – with a strong presence in Macau, Hong Kong and in southern China.Over the past two years, Shun Tak has made a number of significant moves which reflect Ho’s longer-term vision. These include projects such as property developments on the mainland and Macau, aviation, cruise terminal, retail, meetings, incentives, conventions, exhibitions, and its own branded hotels.Ho says these milestone projects have been the summation of the group’s important knowledge and experience accumulated over the years. “As a mid-cap enterprise, we do not rely on mergers and acquisitions as our expansion strategy. Instead, my role is to nurture unique strengths from within, encourage innovation, and drive competitiveness from the core strengthens,” she says.“My focus is to develop corporate ‘soft power’, which includes network, influence and reputation that can bring intangible values to future projects and elevate the team’s all rounded capabilities. By growing our portfolio into complementing industry areas, we saw a lot of synergistic benefits and the successful reformulation of the group into a fully integrated tourism, property and lifestyle enterprise.”Ho believes the key to lead a successful organisation these days hinges on its ability to provide a platform for personal growth for its management team and to foster a forward-thinking and progressive culture that can anticipate and meet tomorrow’s challenges. “Over the past decade, with the clear shift of power and growth momentum from the West towards the East, we have witnessed the exponential growth of China at an unfathomable pace. And, as the government c迷你倉ntinues to drive overhaul changes in the socio-economic spheres, it becomes difficult for any organisation to acquire the necessary human capital through hiring the right personnel, as relevant skills set and experience may be unable to keep up with the ever-evolving landscape,” she says.Ho says elevating corporate credibility and reputation, and broadening the perspective of the team, are the achievements that have given her greatest pleasures. “Because at the end of the day, these are what will shape the group and enable us to chart new frontiers in the future. These [have] become our unique assets, which are more valuable than the success of any isolated project.”Apart from maximising profitability for the shareholders, enhancing the group’s competitiveness for the longer term will be Ho’s primary objective at present. “We will be seeing even faster and more intense changes in the next decade, and staying ahead of the game in capitalising these opportunities will set the tone for the group in many years to come.”Outside her business empire, Ho is also dedicated to the promotion of tourism on the international front. She is an executive committee member of World Travel and Tourism Council, the first official PATA Foundation ambassador, and the first ambassador of the Louvre Museum in China.“In recent years, I have been very committed to the promotion of travel and tourism. We have all seen the importance of the industry in terms of providing employment and developing a country’s economy, especially its resilience over the preceding recessionary years. Apart from quantifiable benefits, it is also an efficient vehicle in preserving our cultural heritage and identity, and driving cross-cultural tolerance and peace. As such, I shall continue to dedicate my efforts in its development, particularly focusing upon enhancing the industry ecosystem in China, and driving its internationalisation and competitiveness in the global scene,” she adds.迷你倉樂器
