Eugenia, an Impact Entrepreneur Correspondent, contributes on-the-ground insights on local impact developments to a regional and international context. Her views and experience spans across commercial, non-profit and impact ventures; an ideal combination to explore how this unique intersection can inspire impactful collaboration with a regional/international audience.

After a well-established senior career spanning across the financial advisory, corporate financial and investigative due diligence in the commercial sector, Eugenia pivoted to bringing her expertise to strategic and venture philanthropy, social innovation and social entrepreneurship since 2016. As the former CEO of a Hong Kong-based registered charitable organisation addressing venture philanthropy and impact investment, Eugenia advised non-profit organisations and social enterprise start-ups, working on different social challenges in Hong Kong e.g. poverty alleviation, active ageing, social inclusion, adapting technology for good. Since 2019, Eugenia oversaw a government-funded incubator for social purpose organisations tackling local poverty and social inclusion issues. More recently, Eugenia’s portfolio expanded to sector and business development, bringing contextual insights to her work. In her other capacities, Eugenia contributes to the local social sector through various partnerships with different public funding schemes, private funders and key players in Hong Kong’s impact sector. Core themes in her work are philanthropy and impact advisory, fundraising for social purpose organisations and programme design.
