The D. H. Chen Foundation is delighted to announce leadership changes ahead at The D. H. Chen Foundation.

Mr. Peter Poon, Chief Program Officer (CPO) of the Foundation, will retire on March 31, 2025 after five years of dedicated service. The Foundation is immensely grateful for Peter’s invaluable contributions and are pleased that he will continue to support us in a consulting role for Institute of Wellbeing and Institute of Mindful Living after retirement.

The Foundation also announces that the Board of Trustees has appointed Ms. Ruby Yong, the Foundation’s current Program Director, as CPO effective April 1, 2025, succeeding Peter. Ruby has been with the Foundation since 2015 and has collaborated closely alongside Peter. Her extensive experience and unwavering commitment to our mission will be vital in advancing our programs.

Commenting on the appointments, Ms. Karen Cheung, Trustee and Chief Strategist of The D. H. Chen Foundation, said, “We thank Peter for his dedication and are pleased that he will continue to serve as a consultant. We congratulate Ruby on her new position, and look forward to the innovative contributions she will continue to bring to the Foundation as we advance our mission and programs.”
