Citation delivered by Professor William Hayward, Dean of Social Sciences
Dr Norman Sze Nung Chi is an HKU alumnus and the Vice Chair of Deloitte China. He is a pioneer in the consulting industry in Mainland China, a banking and financial services expert in credit risk management, performance management, and restructuring, and has been named by the influential Euromoney magazine as one of the leading financial services consultants in China.
Dr Sze holds a BSocSc from HKU, an MBA from Heriot-Watt University in the UK and a Doctorate in Business Administration from the ICD International Business School in France.
He began his career in 1985 when he joined Arthur Andersen in Hong Kong. He later moved to Shanghai as General Manager of Arthur Andersen's consulting business, one of the first firms of its kind in the country.
He contributed to China's development by advising state-owned enterprises on management upgrading, and helped multinationals navigate the local regulatory landscape, including through joint ventures with Chinese companies.
In 2002, Dr Sze joined KPMG Consulting, where he was involved in pioneering projects to advance internationalisation and standards at state-owned banks after China's ascension to the World Trade Organization. Two years later, he became head of Deloitte Consulting in China, a role he held for ten years.
In his current roles as the Vice Chair of Deloitte China and Managing Partner of Deloitte China Government and Public Services, Dr Sze advises government on the business environment improvement and economic development policy, and continues to be a leading advocate for development of the consulting profession.
Dr Sze has published many acclaimed articles and books on the reform and development of Chinese state-owned enterprises. In 2019, he received a postdoctoral fellowship from the University of Oxford for his research on the Belt and Road Initiative.
As an alumni leader of the University of Hong Kong, Dr Sze has staunchly supported his alma mater for many decades with his tireless, bridge-building efforts between different sectors and generations of alumni in Mainland China.
Even while he was still studying at HKU in 1984, Dr Sze initiated and organised a study tour with students at Shenzhen University, a novel collaboration at the time.
In 2017, he initiated the establishment of the HKU Beijing Alumni Network, and as its elected President, used his extensive experience and influence to forge connections, promote the University's work and foster greater understanding of China's latest developments in government, industry and commerce.
Bringing his astute business acumen into alumni engagement, Dr Sze transformed the HKU Beijing Alumni Network and built an executive committee that was based on a forward-looking spirit of diversity, bringing together alumni from different professions, nationalities, generations and genders.
The network has become an exemplar of inclusion and dynamism among alumni groups, and its activities a showcase of HKU achievements for alumni and friends as well as business and government sectors in the Mainland.
And throughout, Dr Sze’s leadership and loyalty, initiative and optimism have been, and continue to be, an inspiration to us all.
Therefore, Mr Pro-Chancellor, it is my great pleasure to present Dr Norman Sze Nung Chi for the Honorary University Fellowship, in recognition of his contributions to Hong Kong and academia.
