David Tse will be at the forefront of solidifying Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group’s standing as a premier Chinese luxury brand. His responsibilities will encompass shaping the brand’s creative identity and spearheading its overall creative strategy across all customer interactions.

In his new role at Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, Tse plans to honor the brand’s rich heritage and encourage innovation and creativity, while always prioritizing customer needs.

This movement forms part of a wider trend of Chinese and Hong Kong consumer brands seeking growth opportunities outside their traditional markets.
