    25 November 2025

    [Date: 25 November 2025]  As Knight Frank continues to develop its business in Greater China, it is vital that the Greater China Executive Board reflects the diverse perspectives of the entire business. Knight Frank is excited to announce the addition of two members to the Greater China Executive Board, effective 1 December 2025:

    Adam Lee brings nearly 30 years of experience in land administration and development consultancy. He is a Fellow of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) and a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Since joining Knight Frank in 2001, he has played a pivotal role in some of our most distinguished and award-winning consultancy projects, such as the West Kowloon Cultural District, Tai Kwun, The Mills, and the redevelopment of the former CLP Headquarters. He has also led the team to successfully conclude premium appeals with significant reductions, setting unmatched benchmarks in the market.

    Cyrus Fong, who joined Knight Frank in 2016, has been instrumental in driving the growth of our valuation business. Promoted to the Head of Valuation & Advisory for Hong Kong in 2022, his leadership role was expanded in 2024 to oversee this business across Greater China. A respected figure in the industry, Cyrus is a Fellow of both the RICS and the HKIS. In addition to his professional accomplishments, Cyrus is dedicated to advancing the surveying industry. He plays an active role in the HKIS and has recently been elected as Vice-Chairman of the HKIS General Practice Division Council 2025-2027. Cyrus also nurtures the next generation as a part-time lecturer at the University of Hong Kong.

    Paul Fisher, CEO, Knight Frank Greater China, said, “Adam and Cyrus have consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership, guiding their teams to achieve remarkable results even in challenging market conditions. Their addition to the Executive Board aligns with our commitment to fostering balanced and sustainable growth in the dynamic market in which we operate. These strategic appointments also mark a significant milestone in the leadership succession of our Professional Services business. I am confident that their vision and expertise will help us seize new opportunities in this exciting new chapter.”
