Jeffrey Yau

I was born and raised in Hong Kong and begin my career as a Trane HVAC Sales Engineer in 1990. Soon I joined the oil lubricants sector and started managing China market business with Castrol/BP from 1996. I enjoyed my stay in Shanghai and Guangzhou for the lubricants business before I moved back to Hong Kong and joined DuPont/Chemours in 2006 as APAC Refrigerants manager and started leading Teflon™ coating business from 2009. I considered my key qualities like fast learning, customer centric, strong business acumen, strategic thinking and seasoned people skills allow me to develop in different industries, markets and products and taken on challenges successfully.
I left my last full-time position with Chemours in 2019 and started technology consultancy practice for a couple years before I completed the MIT Sustainability Executive program in 2021. Soon I found “GRPan” and taking actions to reduce landfill waste, CO2-GHG emissions and do good for our environment.
