Leung, who was also responsible for managing the General Motors account, joined Bates in Hong Kong in 1986. During the last 20 years, he has spent eight years in Taiwan, setting up Bates Taiwan and growing the agency to become a leader in the market.

He switched his focus to China in 1997, growing Bates 141 into the fifth largest agency in China. 

Following a two-year stint as OgilvyAction China president, Leung rejoined Bates 141 Asia in March 2009 as regional director to focus on Shanghai General Motors, Bates 141 China's biggest account, and develop activation capabilities for the network.

Leung was also tasked to lead the growth of Bates 141's operation in Shanghai.
