ABOUT MR. PO CHUNG
Mr. Po Chung is Co-founder of DHL International and the Chairman of The Hong Kong Institute of Service Leadership & Management.
Mr. Chung co-founded DHL International in 1972. He had played a shaping leadership role in the company's dramatic development, corporate culture and expansion and built the company into the most global of all global network service companies.
The DHL worldwide network now operates in more than 228 countries and territories. During DHL’s international network expansion outside the USA, Mr. Chung provided much of the corporation’s international philosophy and human resource culture of network service leadership insights such as “everyone is a leader for at least 15 minutes every day”, “push decision to the lowest level”, “manage a global network with a culture but not rules and regulations” ...
At the age of 52, Mr. Chung, because of Larry Hillblom's unfortunate plane crush, stepped down from his day-to-day running of the company and subsequently sold his shares at DHL to Deutsche Post in 2002 with the rest of his partners.
Over the years Mr. Chung has been tireless in his community service activities especially about liberal arts education; entrepreneurship; promoting Hong Kong; creativity and innovation. (Full Bio: http://bit.ly/2RFy4oK)
