Cally Chan, General Manager of Microsoft Hong Kong and Macau, added: “As digital transformation gathers pace, business leaders need to be increasingly adept in AI, data science and cloud computing. Microsoft understands that developing a transformation strategy extends far beyond business and technology to leadership and organisational capabilities.

We are thrilled to support the future-readiness of Hong Kong’s brightest talent through this partnership.”
