AMTD IDEA and AMTD WME: Mr. Jazz Li has been appointed as an independent director of AMTD IDEA and AMTD WME. Jazz is a cultural entrepreneur and a leader in the movement to transcend the boundaries of fine art and entertainment, realizing the potential synergies between fine art, culture, and mass media. Jazz has crafted celebrity-curated fine art exhibitions, which have achieved critical reception not just from the fine art world but also from general audiences — working closely with fine art celebrity curators such as the King of Mandopop Jay Chou. Jazz studied economics at the London School of Economics and graduated in 2004. The appointment of Jazz, an art and entertainment industry expert, further strengthens the diversity of the Boards,. Jazz’s extensive experience in the art and entertainment industry will help the Boards to provide strategic guidance on the future developments of the art and media industry businesses of AMTD IDEA and AMTD WME.
