Prof. Gregg Li
Acting CEO and Council Chair/ Co-Founder, Space Economy Association (SEA)
From a summer engineering intern at Pearl Harbor in 1976 to a stint as ICMCI’s ambassador into China, when China opened its doors and invited professional management consulting as an industry in 2002, Gregg has been a bridge builder and a connector. Fixing wicked problems has been his life and forte. He’s been an Internal Consultant at American Express, an External Consultant with Coopers (aka PWC), Consulting Principal of the Management Think Tank at the University of Hong Kong, Member of the HKSAR Government Central Policy Unit, the founder of his regional consulting firm in Family Business Governance and lastly headed up the Global Enterprise Risk Management and Corporate Governance Practice at Aon. Gregg has never turned down any 1,500-plus wicked challenges his clients wanted resolution. What he couldn’t solve alone, he would invite other professionals from ICMCI, IBM, the World Bank, Protiviti, Citibank, and IMC members to join forces. Educated as a systems engineer and governance architect, Gregg has had over four decades of professional consulting experience helping disparate parties find common grounds for mutual gains, navigate hyper-growth, and install resilient governance architectures.
Time permitting, he has shared his know-how as an Adjunct and Visiting professor at local and overseas universities, including the inquisitive ones at universities in Beijing, Bombay, Chicago, Clayton, Haidian, Helsinki, Hong hum, Manoa, Palo Alto, Shatin, and Yangpu. He has enjoyed sharing and researching esoteric subjects like International Corporate Governance, Systems Engineering, Family Business Governance, and Space Entrepreneurship. He has been proud to claim that scores of his students and mentees are now partners at leading consulting firms, global heads at MNCs and family business empires, and founders of disruptive startups (none is in jail so far). They have been co-travellers on his journey of discovery, and many are now changing the world for the better. Many have joined him hitchhiking the galaxy at the Orion Astropreneur Space Academy he founded in Hong Kong, where he is also a voluntary researcher and Ambassador at the Laboratory for Space Research at HKU.
Gregg is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis (BA), HKU (MPhil), UCLA (MBA), Hawaii (MA), and Warwick University in the UK (Eng. D); and looking to graduate as a Space Global Mentor before 2030. As an “Astropreneur” and a Comprador of NewSpace, he is now connecting entrepreneurs, governments, universities, engineers, and venture capitalists to prepare their livelihood for the arrival of the NewSpace and Digital economy.
