Thank you Uber for the souvenirs!

What did the volunteers think?

Tiffany: You are really brave and always stay optimistic even you face loads of challenges in your business. I really appreciate that and you are definitely a role model to me. Thanks for your sharing.

Michelle: Kenneth is a fearless guy and take calculated risks (including being arrestef by police) to take up new challenges in his career. I appreciate he kept optimistic in face of adversity. I share his view that if one always works according to rules will definitely kills innovation. The meet up session trigger me rethink my own career in longer term — I hope I could change the status quo in one day and make an impact too!

Taylor: Dear Kenneth She, Hello, this is Taylor Chang who sat right next to you. Thank you so much for donating time to such a brilliant lunch meeting. The meeting was awesome enough to get some general ideas of you working as a General Manager. I actually had one more simple question that other participants might also consider: what motivated you start Uber service in Hong Kong and what were the potentials that you saw from that service industry? It would be lovely if you have some spare time to answer this question! I hope I can keep in contact with you! Thanks. Best regards, Taylor Minsu Chang
