A graduate of Imperial College London (BEng, First Class Honours) and Stanford University (MSEE), Ms Huo joined Comba Telecom in 2010 and started leading the international division in 2016 where she is responsible for strategic planning, management and operation of the Group’s global business. Under her leadership, the international business division achieved over 80% growth in both gross profit and revenue over the past four years. Notably, Ms Huo successfully turned around various regional businesses from loss-making to profitability during that period. Comba Telecom was established in 1997 and has grown to become a leading supplier of wireless and information communications systems and services with its own R&D and manufacturing base. With operations all over the globe, the Group is at the forefront of 5G and IoE (Internet of Everything) network development. Its base station antennas and in-building solutions are installed for customers across Asia Pacific, America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. The international team has recently partnered with global operators and industry leaders to enable 5G networks and application innovations around the world. Over the past few years, Ms Huo has been actively leading the team in positioning the business for rapid and sustainable growth by: (1) identifying customer value propositions; (2) diversifying the customer mix in key regions; (3) developing and localising the product portfolio according to regional requirements; (4) talent management through a mix of hiring industry experts and nurturing talents from within; (5) leveraging local expertise of regional offices with a global vision and strategy; (6) helping drive the adoption of industry 4.0 within the Group. This reform in business structure resulted in vastly improved customer response and higher performance throughout the organisation.  She is also constantly bringing new innovations to forge assorted types of new business opportunities in line with the IoE evolution. As the leader of the international team, Ms Huo not only delivers significant growth in the core wireless communications businesses around the world by having success in key markets and account breakthroughs but is also exploring new business opportunities through fostering innovation in wireless application technologies. A key development is the commercialisation of the ScanViS facial recognition AI solution. ScanViS is now being adopted around the world and has also been deployed for access control at the world’s largest wireless technology event – Mobile World Congress. Within the Group, Ms Huo actively nurtures and promotes talents to leadership roles for future growth, as well as strives to develop innovation and development of the Hong Kong hi-tech industry by building partnerships with companies globally. 霍 欣茹為京信通信系統控股有限公司（京信通信）執行 董事兼高級副總裁，及為京信通訊國際有限公司的總 裁。霍欣茹於倫敦帝國學院工程學取得一級榮譽學士及美 國斯坦福大學電子工程碩士畢業。她在2010年加入京信通 信，並於2016年開始領導國際部，專責國際業務的策略規 劃、管理和營運。在她的領導下，國際業務在過去四年中 的毛利和收入均達到超過80%的增長，更在此期間成功將 一些區域的業務轉虧為盈。 京信通信於1997年成立，現已發展成為一家集研發、 生產、銷售及服務於一體的全球領先通信與信息解决方 案和服務供應商。集團業務遍及全球，是5G和萬物互聯 （IoE）網絡發展的先行者。集團的基站天線和室內網絡解 決方案已在亞太、美洲、歐洲、中東和非洲地區廣泛部 署。國際團隊最近正與全球運營商和行業領導者合作，在 全球範圍實現5G網絡和相關應用的創新技術。 過去幾年，霍欣茹一直積極領導團隊為業務定位，以達 至快速且可持續的增長：(1) 確定客戶價值主張；(2) 多樣 化關鍵地區的客戶組合；(3) 按地區客戶需要開發切合的產 品組合；(4) 通過聘用行業專家和培養內部人才來加強人才 管理；(5) 運用區域辦事處的地區專業知識配合國際業務的 發展願景和策略；(6) 推動高科技工業（工業4.0）。透過業 務結構改革，大幅度地改善集團內的客戶反饋度及提高業 務績效。 霍欣茹還隨著IoE的發展，不斷努力為集團帶來創新思 維，打造各類型的新業務機會。作為國際團隊的領袖，霍 欣茹不僅在主要市場上取得的成功和突破，令核心無線通 信業務在國際市場上取得顯著增長，更透過推動創新無線 應用技術，開拓新商機。ScanViS人臉識別AI解決方案的 商用方案是重點新業務之一。ScanViS正獲環球多個地方 採用，並為全球最大型的無線技術盛會 –「世界移動通信 大會」選用的入場控制方案。 霍欣茹積極在集團內部培養和提升領導人才，促進未來 發展；並與世界各地的企業建立合作夥伴關係，致力在香 港發展創新意念及高科技產業。 2020 Ms Annabel Huo Executive Director and Senior Vice President, Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited 霍欣茹女士 京信通信系統控股有限公司  執行董事兼高級副總裁  1-3/2021 | 73
