Meta names Patrick Pan head of Hong Kong and Taiwan

Meta has appointed Patrick Pan(pictured) to the position of head of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Pan is responsible for overseeing the company’s operations in both markets, and lead the team in building strategic relationships with brands, agencies and partners to sustain overall growth. He will also focus on driving economic impact by supporting businesses of all sizes, and cultivating growth through digital adoption. Based in Taiwan, Pan will report to Jayne Leung, vice president, head of Greater China at Meta.

According to the press release, with more than 18 years of technology sector experience, Pan brings a broad range of skills and perspectives on spearheading organisational effectiveness and growth for multinational corporations.

Pan was previously with Microsoft Taiwan, where he was general manager of public sector. Prior to that, he was Taiwan country manager at Citrix and he also held senior positions at several technology multinational corporations, including CA Technologies and IBM Taiwan.

“Meta is committed to helping people use our technologies to connect, find communities and grow their businesses,” said Jayne Leung, vice President, head of Greater China at Meta. “Pan's broad industry knowledge and experience will enable us to better support businesses of all sizes, as well as clients and partners in both Taiwan and Hong Kong, helping them seize emerging market opportunities and drive continuous growth more efficiently,” Leung added.

“Meta’s technologies and products empower many people around the world to make a difference and drive real impact in their communities,” said Patrick Pan, head of Taiwan and Hong Kong at Meta. “I am excited to be part of a company that is empowering people and businesses with technologies. I look forward to working with our Taiwan and Hong Kong teams, as well as clients, partners and stakeholders to capture the tremendous opportunities ahead.” Pan added.

Earlier in June, Sheryl Sandberg is stepping down as Meta's COO after 14 years. She and CEO Mark Zuckerberg will transition her direct reports and Sandberg will officially leave Meta in the fall. Her departure comes shortly after the company kicked off a review on whether Sandberg has violated internal rules after reports of her allegedly pressuring MailOnline to drop a potential article about her then-boyfriend and Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick surfaced.
