A Leader Shaped by Experience

Adriel’s journey with Hang Lung began in 2010, when he first joined the Finance Department at Grand Gateway 66, Shanghai. He later transitioned to the Leasing Department, where he acquired a valuable base for devising leasing strategies. "I learned a lot and gained a wealth of knowledge related to the real estate industry," Adriel recalls.

His knowledge and hands-on experience grew stronger when he relocated to Hong Kong in 2012, taking on design and project management responsibilities, and shepherding the completion of many Hang Lung projects. One particular experience that left a mark on Adriel was the pre-opening period of Olympia 66 in Dalian. "I can recall going through a multitude of challenges while bringing the mall to life during the final stage of preparation," he says. However, through the collaboration and diligent efforts of the team, Olympia 66 triumphed over the myriad of challenges and became the center for high-end brands in the city. "It is now the best mall in Dalian, thanks to the local team's collaboration with our headquarters teams, who faced obstacles head-on, and optimized every aspect of the mall to achieve its current status. I am very proud of them."

Adriel's approach to management revolves around four core principles that are now ingrained in Hang Lung's culture: integrity, sustainability, excellence, and openness. He believes that taking them to heart will help get us through the current challenging time. "They are not only the Company's core values, but also my personal principles. I believe that if you live by these four standards, things will be done well."
