Chan is working in one of the Fortune 500 Companies and managing over 150 suppliers over the world.  He is familiar with operation management, quality improvement & global procurement in China factories, and has over 10 years working experience in manufacturing industry, especially in telecommunication and toys.  Dr. Chan is a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt and a Quality Auditor; he had been working in several ten improvement projects with world-class companies, such as Nokia, Vertu, Motorola, RIM, BVLGARI, etc.
