Desmond founded East-West Institute of Applied Etiquette and Communication in 2008 with the aim of strengthening the business etiquette and communication skills of business executives in the Greater Bay Area.  In the past one-and-a-half decades, Desmond has provided over a thousand hours of training to corporate executives and professionals at all levels from a myriad of industries, as well as undergraduate and graduate students at most of Hong Kong’s universities. 

 Desmond is also an experienced and well-regarded media personality.  Having presented for 16 years on Hong Kong’s premium luxury and lifestyle television program Dolce Vita, he is the longest-serving host in the show’s history, and the people of Hong Kong identify his likeness with all things “leisuretainment”.
