Jordon Tan
On top of being a skilful product designer, Hong Zhang is extremely adaptable and excels in other areas of work such as project management and procurement. Having great business acumen, he is able to grasp the critical importance of having robust product range as well as the need to maintain a healthy cash flow. Hong Zhang has an easy-going and calm personality that allows him to communicate well with his colleagues and partners. This quickly improved the efficiency of work. I appreciated having him as a team member - from his ingenious ideas, his great foresight and the ability to challenge existing norms, team meetings flow with ease and complex issues are often broken down and resolved smoothly. His dedication to deliver quality work and hunger for improvement makes him a valuable addition to any team.
