Congratulations to my mentee, ex-colleague and good friend, Dr. Tenny Lam, CEO and Co-founder of Grand Rise Technology Limited, on receiving the Excellence in Research Application Award of the 1st ever Hong Kong Innopreneur Awards organised by #FHKI and sponsored by #HSBC.

Really proud of Dr. Lam not just receiving the award but also demonstrating how a corporate leader was successfully transformed to an elite entrepreneur.

Well done, Tenny as I always believe your #enterpreneurship. You now found the right path to excel. Add oil.
