Leadership Team

As CEO of Mother's Choice, Sky leads a team of staff and volunteers in achieving the organization's vision of seeing every child in a loving family. She oversees Mother's Choice's four core services and engages the community by bringing our mission to life of joining hands to give hope and change life stories for Hong Kong’s most vulnerable children.

Sky's deep-rooted commitment to child and youth welfare stems from her upbringing as the daughter of missionary parents in West Ghana, where she spent her early years. Prior to Mother's Choice, she served as KELY Support Group's Executive Director for 12 years, honing her expertise in developing systemic solutions to nurture and strengthen families.

She was a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Shaper Community and is a public speaker on mental health and other social issues. Since 2015, Sky has advanced Hong Kong's welfare policy as a Standing Committee Member for the Hong Kong Council of Social Services. Most recently, Sky co-founded "Voice for Social Good," a platform bringing together nonprofit leaders to foster collaboration, exchange, and the development of an inclusive, thriving nonprofit sector in Hong Kong.

Born in Hong Kong, Sky holds a Pre-Med degree from Taylor University and a Masters in Public Health from the University of Hong Kong. She lives in Hong Kong with her husband and two young children.

WHY GIVING MATTERS

Prior to joining Mother's Choice, Laure held global leadership positions at Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy in France and Hong Kong, and led Digital Transformation initiatives at Novartis in Switzerland. Her educational background includes an MBA from INSEAD and a Master's degree in Innovation and Technology from École Centrale Paris in France.
