Chief Financial Officer

I founded Cathay Petroleum in 2003 with a clear goal: to build a disciplined, forward-looking trading house grounded in trust and integrity.  

Over the years, we’ve weathered market cycles, adapted to global shifts, and grown alongside a new generation of bold, capable leaders. Today, we remain nimble, global, and committed to doing business the right way — with strong values, sharp judgment, and a long-term view.  

To our partners and investors: thank you for your trust. The journey continues, and we’re just getting started.
