Mr. Stan Kwong is Regional Head, Finnair. His proposer, Mr. Ben Yick, a year-2 tourism and event management student stated in his nomination:

Being one of Mr. Kwong’s mentees in the past year has been a meaningful and fruitful experience to me. As my mentor, Mr. Kwong provided me with great insights of the industry, particularly the airline industry. He shared with me with his journey in the industry, where he started as a junior officer. His sharing has inspired me in many different ways. In fact, I have become more determined in pursuing my future career in the airline industry despite the difficulties or challenges currently facing the industry.

Mr. Kwong endeavors to arrange a wide variety of activities for me and another mentee. One of the most memorable experiences is when Mr. Kwong invited some of his industrial partners to share their thoughts with us. This has further broadened my horizon. Mr. Kwong has done more than I expected from this mentorship programme.

Mr. Kwong has also taken care of my personal development. Besides advising me on my future career path, he has kept encouraging me to expose to new things. He has provided me with information about overseas studies and even new sports (e.g.,  Mölkky) regularly. I am motivated by him to expand my social network by establishing more connections with different people.

Mr. Kwong is an easy-going, friendly and highly responsible mentor. His useful and thoughtful advice has helped me develop holistically and reinforced my determination in pursing my future career in the tourism and events industry.  His positive personalities and inspiring experiences have made himself an exemplary mentor and role-model to me.
