Business Wire
AMTD Group Inc. (“AMTD Group”), the controlling shareholder of
AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB) (“AMTD IDEA”) and AMTD
Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD) (“AMTD Digital”) today announced the
introduction and adoption of an innovative system through which the
CEOs of all of its operating companies and key subsidiaries,
including AMTD IDEA and AMTD Digital, will be appointed by the
Executive Management Committee (“EMC”) of the applicable entities
on a rotational basis. This philosophy of shared leadership is
reflected in the new feature which forms the core foundation of the
rotating CEO mechanism. Under the new rotation program, no single
individual would be appointed as the sole leader of an entity for
an extended period, and a campaign of “everyone can be a hero” will
be rolled out across the group to encourage and promote the next
leaders of the companies. Through this rotation program, AMTD Group
will maximize the values from the collective wisdom and stepped-up
efforts to groom and nurture the next-level leaders.
By rotating the CEOs every six months, the group will be led by
different personalities, which will create a much more diverse
workplace where different common principles and perspectives will
be consistently communicated and implemented. Due to the shared
decision-making process and the grooming process to cultivate the
next-level leadership, the long-term and sustainable interest of
AMTD will be best served. Shared Values as the core mission of AMTD
and key shareholders’ beliefs and practices will be implemented
through the new structure and organization leadership.
Dr. Feridun Hamdullahpur, the independent chairman of AMTD IDEA
commented “The entire AMTD organization is built upon innovative
thinking. We don’t just talk about it; we practise it all the time.
We have evolved and matured by understanding the changing world a
bit better and defying the status quo. The rotating CEO program is
born out of such thinking, and I believe will bring renewed energy
and inspiration for the long-term sustainability and growth of the
group. We would not be where we are without their great work,
dedication, and commitment. We will continue counting on the new
leadership program to move us steadily forward and grow our impact
gradually and concretely over time.”
