Alan To has been appointed LRQA Vice President – Strategic Marketing Global Sustainability, Transportation & Health.
Joining from Bayer Material Science, To has led various strategic investment and business development initiatives from strategy formulation to execution and integration.
In his new role, To will focus on further strengthening the strategic direction and reach of LRQA’s wide range of assurance services designed to meet the needs of the global transportation industry, including the automotive and aerospace sectors. To will also be responsible for further developing LRQA’s global market share of the healthcare and energy segments. Based in Hong Kong, he will also play a key geographic role in helping to develop strategies in Asia, especially Greater China.
To holds a Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Science degree. He also acquired Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing from The Chartered Institute of Marketing.
Alan To’s appointment is one of the latest to LRQA’s new operating model, which sees LRQA functioning as a global business, as opposed to a regional one. “Our new structure allows us to focus on what is important: creating value for our clients – many of whom are served by other members of the Lloyd’s Register group (LR) – which in turn generates revenue for our organisation, thereby helping us contribute more to the Lloyd’s Register Foundation, a charity set up in 2012 and funded partly by the profits from the LR Group,” summarised Batters.
