For Kent, working hard and working smart are just as important as working together.
“The dynamic nature of the electronics industry gives way to frequent transformations,” said Kent. “As a leader, my primary objective is to guide my team through this everchanging market landscape and effectively address the challenges that arise.”
Kent grew up in Hong Kong and graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He began his career at Smith in 2000 as a purchasing agent, later moving to broker sales. He then served as trading manager of Smith’s Hong Kong office and helped open additional offices in Shanghai and Shenzhen over the next decade.
He was promoted to Vice President, Asia in 2017 and then President, APAC in 2022 before being named to his current position in 2025. Kent’s positive and constructive mentorship has helped bolster Smith’s strong upward momentum in the APAC region over the past 25 years.
“The skills, knowledge, and entrepreneurial spirit of our people are key differentiators for Smith,” said Kent. “I am committed to expanding and improving the resources available to our traders worldwide to help them grow their business and provide unrivaled customer support.”
During his free time, Kent enjoys outdoor activities, such as hiking and fishing, and enjoys exploring new and exceptional restaurants with friends.
As a leader, my primary objective is to guide my team through this everchanging market landscape and effectively address the challenges that arise.
