With her proven track record, Catherine is a true change-maker who is dedicated to advancing HKBN's award-winning talent engagement strategy even further.
“I am here to drive HKBN’s Talent strategy towards making it the most enriching company to work for. Similar to all the best companies, HKBN’s success stems from our obsessive focus on attracting, developing and retaining elite-level Talents.

Kenneth She, Chief Transformation Officer, has joined HKBN with a clear mission to uphold our "Change or Die" ethos by driving impactful change within our organisation. Formerly the General Manager of Uber Hong Kong with over 2 million users and 10,000 drivers, Kenneth's primary responsibility will be to spearhead HKBN's synergy and transformative growth initiatives across the residential and enterprise business segments.
“The insatiable hunger of HKBN to innovate through change and transformation is what truly 'wowed' me and led me to join this remarkable organisation. Despite having led and even founded several highly successful companies, it is the agile, mission-focused leadership at HKBN that sets it apart from most slow-moving billion-dollar companies. The relentless drive to deliver disruption and create value for customers aligns perfectly with my own entrepreneurial spirit. I am excited to be part of HKBN's dynamic environment.”
