The night's featured guest, well-known economist and China Business Networkhost, Dr. Ma Hong Man, led a panel discussion with five industry opinion leaders on Innovation & Transformational Leadership in the Digital Era.

In his opening remarks Pierre Zhuang, co-founder and CEO of Bo Le Associates, expressed his appreciationfor the supporting of clients through the years. He was followed on stage by Takashi Kuzuhara, CEO and President of RGF Hong Kong Limited, to which Bo Le is a wholly-owned subsidiary, who gave a congratulatory speech.

On whether changes brought by the digital era alter corporate leadership, Pierre Zhuang acknowledged that business acumen and swift reaction are the two most prominent challenges facing leaders. Grace Li, Senior Vice President of Hanhua Finance, and former Vice President of Human Resources at BMW Brilliance,added that it's always been impossible to define leadership with a singular measurement, and that leaders must hold on to their core values, yet react to different circumstances accordingly.

Tony Xu, Chief Financial Officer at Boeing Shanghai, insistedthat improving the core value of the business instead of "showing off" the performance was most important. David Zhu, Managing Partner of Vision Knight Capital, added that leaders need to swim with waves and be able to easily communicate with the younger generation. Pierre Zhuangcalled social media a double-edged swordwhere transparencycan sometimes lead to damagers influences.

Later in the evening, The Bo Le Golden Horse Awards were presented to the company's clients and fellows in accordance with the crucial recruitment criterion collected from their senior peer groups and candidates.

"Bo Le is dedicated to passing on our core values, knowledge and expertise to the new generation. Emerging technologies and digital platforms have allowed us to develop a very strong database, with built-in capabilities to more efficiently identify and match candidates to fit client needs," Pierre said.
