Bio
Priscilla Ng
Yu and I were part of a highly competent analytical team. Many a times, what looks like a good analytical solution on paper may not be practical or makes sense for implementation. I was fortunate to have Yu advising me on implementation and local business considerations before putting forth analytical solutions to my stakeholders. And I appreciate how he explains ideas clearly to the team and our stakeholders, instead of speaking in geek languages that many analytical professionals easily fall prey to. During our collaborations, I have also witnessed how Yu responded with professionalism and optimism in challenging stakeholder situations. He accepts that is a part of the job and continues to seek solutions/options to the success completions of the projects he undertake. I also owed to Yu when I first relocated to HK - for tactfully nudging me to respond appropriately to the nuances of local working culture within the international setup of our organization. His help certainly went a long way for my later career in a more diverse working environment.
