Prior to Tencent, he was Asia head for McKinsey Digital, supporting both Big Tech companies and sector incumbents to execute their digital strategy.
Alan is a recognized leader in the art space, sitting on multiple museum boards including being the vice-chair of M+ in Hong Kong and co-chair of the Asia committees at both Tate and The Guggenheim. Alan obtained his master’s degree in Engineering from Oxford University.
Evan Auyang, president of Animoca Brands, commented: “We are excited to have Alan join the Animoca Brands family at this pivotal moment of the company’s development. Alan brings to us both the depth and breadth of business experience from Tencent WeSure, where he built the business from the ground up, as well as nearly two decades of experience at McKinsey. He provides valuable perspective and expertise as we look to further synergize our portfolio of over 340 investments.”
