Mr. Tse brings nearly 30 years of experience in both private and public companies in high-growth and technology industries, with the most recent 15 years focused on the energy transition sector, predominantly covering the lithium battery value chain, ranging from upstream resource development and mining, through chemicals and materials, as well as battery recycling.
