How Geoffrey is building a better working world

“I am helping build a better working world by leveraging outreach opportunities and the hard-earned reputation of EY member firms in the markets to extend the benefits of China’s economic growth across borders. The Chinese financial industry has developed in leaps and bounds in the past decade, but worn-out paradigms still have great influence among the media. Through EY, my work extends beyond maintaining the integrity of the financial markets to providing forward-looking proposals for better governance and increased transparency.”
