New CEO makes an impression on
local arts groups and media
WKCDA Chief Executive Officer (designate) Mr Graham Sheffield visited Hong Kong during the last week of May with an action-packed itinerary. In addition to meeting with Authority staff for planning and operational matters, Mr Sheffield also met with Hong Kong media, arts groups, arts students and others as he continued to immerse himself in the local scene prior to his assumption of full CEO duties in August.
Diaries of our new CEO:
144 hours in the Hong Kong arts scene
What an extraordinary and fascinating week! I knew from previous visits that Hong Kong has a reputation for incomparable energy, but this was the first time I experienced it “full on”—and for several days non-stop! Wow. I was in town prior to taking up my role as CEO in mid-August in order to begin my familiarisation process, meet new colleagues and friends, start learning about the arts scene and also hopefully find somewhere to live. It was an exhausting week … but more importantly, it was very productive.
