Au Young fills the role left vacant by Velinda Cheng, who resigned due to personal reasons. Cheng worked in Puma's regional marketing team for two years and was in the Hong Kong GM role for a year.

“After recovery from the financial crisis, we are proceeding to the next step which is to strengthen our market positioning as a sport lifestyle brand in HK - expansion and growth,” Au Young explained the main challenges.

Au Young also worked as the GM of Chevignon and Lucky Brand Jeans.
