The Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) continues its efforts in supporting human capital development in Hong Kong by holding its eighth edition of Career Day 2021 in virtual format the second time on 23 October. The event was concluded with a strong turnout of 13 speakers providing undergraduate and postgraduate participants with perspectives from multiple dimensions to look into their job prospects in the financial services industry amid uncertainty over the pandemic.
This year’s keynote address was delivered by Head of Listing of Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Ms Bonnie Y Chan, who shared her inspiring story, career path and key lessons with participants.
Bonnie Chan, who once led the Listing Division's IPO Transactions Department of HKEx and was once the Executive Director of the Legal and Compliance Department of Morgan Stanley, returned to working in a law firm again in 2010. Since her initial admission, Bonnie has witnessed the many ups and downs in the global market but she firmly believes Hong Kong's financial power is still as strong as ever and talent is still the hardest thing to find.
After graduating from the Faculty of Law, the University of Hong Kong in 1991, Bonnie Chan studied in Harvard Law School, USA and obtained a master's degree in law. She is a winner in life in the eyes of many.
