Warm welcome for new alumni chapter president
We extend a warm welcome to Jeffrey Chan as the new president of our Hong Kong chapter.
Jeffrey completed his high schooling and a Diploma of Business in Hong Kong before moving to Australia in the late 1980s to study a Bachelor of Business at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. Excelling in accounting and economics subjects, he managed to fast-track his degree to finish in two years. Jeffrey’s career began as an auditor for Deloitte Hong Kong, followed by management roles with Hutchison Whampoa, Royal Dutch Shell and Triumph, and increasingly more experience in global markets. Looking to use his vast experience to help companies take their business to the international stage, he founded his own company with an international network of fintech, virtual technology and professional firms to provide a shared resources finance service. Services ranged from CFO to daily accountant roles.
“I look forward to enhancing the reputation of Charles Sturt University and the alumni through its global network and helping it to be seen as one of the esteemed universities for the new generation to join.” Charles Sturt University’s Director, Advancement Office, Sarah Ansell paid tribute to long-serving outgoing president, Samuel Tung. “Sam is a friend and colleague who has shown enormous dedication to his role as president, and to the university. We thank him for his many contributions. We also warmly welcome Jeffrey into the role and look forward to seeing where he takes things.”
Jeffrey was the president of CPA Australia, Greater China Division and is an Honorary Adviser to the Divisional Council. For the past eight years, Jeffrey has been involved with the Hong Kong Chapter of the Charles Sturt Alumni Association, and was happy to take on the role of president. “My campus life in Bathurst had a profound impact on me, in terms of learning and in life. It was an important part of my life and I like to contribute back when I have the opportunity.” Jeffrey’s immediate plan is to encourage greater involvement from alumni and an enhanced network. “We want to link up with more alumni here and increase participation. We also want to link up more with our alumni and relevant professional bodies across south-east Asia.
