CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 1 2018 9 Dr. Matthew Man: A Valuable Asset to a Valuable Company. Contact: Fiona Chan Address: Unit 301-302,3/F, Building 12W, No. 12 Science Park, West Avenue, Hong Kong Science Park, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong Phone: 0852 3999 4389 Website: www.myndar.com g “Quite simply, I think the key to mine and the company’s success is innovation. One of our key attributes is the ability to put ourselves into our customer’s shoes, and to gain an in-depth understanding of our customer’s problems and their vision. Other qualities we possess as a company include the capability to deliver a product or a solution beyond our customer’s expectations and imagination. Lastly, we aim to provide excellent service and support; to lead by example; and importantly, to work extremely hard but always celebrate each success.” Innovation, openness and honesty are all characteristics of a CEO at the top of the industry. Dr. Man, however, is also willing to take risks if it means finding the best result and producing the best outcome. He acts instinctively, placing a focus on taking a chance rather than analysing and thinking and importantly he is never afraid of failure. The ability of Myndar and Dr. Man to constantly innovate helps to make the competition become irrelevant, alongside the ethos of staff and management to never stop learning and never give up. With regard to people looking to make a successful career similar to his own, Dr. Man provides us with some advice that he would give to someone looking to be a CEO in any industry. “Importantly, a person must take a realistic look at the demands there will be on themselves and the personal sacrifices they will need to make in order to start, grow and sustain a business. You will need to be a strong leader with a clear vision and goal, plus possess a tenacious attitude to never give up through difficult times. You need to be able to inspire people, to fight for your team, to earn respect and to build loyalties. It is important to have a good team with you and to reward them whenever you can, to celebrate each success along the way.” Lastly, in his concluding comments, Dr. Man is happy to tell us about the plans ahead for both himself and the company, as he predicts exciting times ahead for Myndar, hinting at expansion and huge potential growth amongst the industry. “Ultimately, we are planning for IPO to be listed in Hong Kong in 2020. We want to expand our products and solutions worldwide and to build “Myndar” as international brand globally.”
