TSL Jewellery’s Annie Yau Tse: Secrets to Crisis-Proof Leadership
CEO 123 Tell Me More
Annie Yau Tse joined us on 22 October for an engaging session in our “CEO 123 Tell Me More” series, where she shared her inspiring journey from computer engineering to leading the Hong Kong company TSL Jewellery. As Chairman and CEO, she has helped transform the family-run business into a regional powerhouse with over 400 boutiques across more than 100 cities in Asia.
In a conversation with Chamber CEO Patrick Yeung, Annie emphasized that overcoming business challenges demands strong, resilient leadership – one that sets the tone and motivates teams through periods of adversity.
She also reflected on Hong Kong’s struggling retail industry, noting that shifting consumption patterns and falling demand for diamonds, especially post-pandemic, have prompted TSL to shift its decades-long focus on diamonds and gem-setting to gold jewellery.
Highlighting the evolution of marketing strategies over the years, she explained how the company has moved from celebrity endorsements to collaborations with popular influencers and KOLs such as J Lou. As more consumers engage with content online, this approach offers a more direct and effective way to connect with audiences today.
