With his first career in the investment world, Ed has been asked endless times why building a charity; his response evolves overtime.
Growing up in a grassroot family and neighbourhood in Sham Shui Po, Ed feels tremendously blessed to have had an extraordinary life journey: he went to a privileged high school in Hong Kong and a top business school in the United States. He was then trained as a CPA and investment banker in New York City and London. He finished his corporate career at age 40 with a top global private investment firm to embark on a start-up career in a number of cutting edge industries.
With ChickenSoup, Ed’s initial intention is to give back to the community with a social welfare mindset. After a decade of experimenting different operating models, Ed transcended the charity into an educational co-operative to explore the unlimited human potential in self-healing, self-empowerment and role-modelling. Today ChickenSoup is led by a combination of the beneficiary community themselves and experienced personnel.
