SUMMARY:Fireside Chat with Richard Eu\, Chairman of Eu Yan Sang
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow Harvard alumni and guests for an engaging fireside conversation with Richard Eu\, Chairman of Eu Yan Sang\, one of Asia’s most enduring and respected healthcare brands.  \n\n\n\nEu Yan Sang’s 147-year history can be traced back to its establishment by Richard’s great-grandfather\, Eu Kong in the small mining town of Gopeng\, Perak\, Malaysia\, in 1879. He noticed the tin mine coolies were heavily dependent on opium as the easiest method for immediate relief for their medical needs. Eu Kong brought in herbal remedies to nurse their health\, thus setting up the first Eu Ya Sang’ shop in Gopeng.  \n\n\n\nRichard’s grandfather\, Eu Tong Sen\, was one of Asia’s richest men\, who made his fortune in tin mining\, rubber plantations and remittances\, and even has a main street in Singapore’s Chinatown named after him.  \n\n\n\nBut by the time Richard joined Eu Yan Sang in 1989\, little of the business empire remained.   \n\n\n\nAs the fourth-generation leader of the family enterprise\, Richard has been widely recognised for transforming Eu Yan Sang from a traditional Chinese medicine business into a modern\, professionally managed regional healthcare group. \n\n\n\nIn this intimate session to be moderated by Andrew Nai (Harvard Business School GMP’13)\, Richard will reflect on his journey stewarding a heritage brand through reinvention\, digitalisation\, global expansion\, shifting consumer expectations\, evolving ESG expectations\, sustainable growth and new ownership. The discussion will also explore themes of family business leadership\, brand longevity\, innovation in traditional industries\, and the evolving role of Asian wellness in a global marketplace.  \n\n\n\nAttendees will gain insights into how legacy organisations can adapt to shifting consumer expectations while staying true to their cultural roots. \n\n\n\nWhether you are interested in entrepreneurship\, heritage brands\, healthcare\, or leadership in a rapidly changing world\, this conversation promises thoughtful perspectives and candid reflections from one of Singapore’s most respected business figures. \n\n\n\nEvent DetailsWhen: Tuesday 18 June\, 6.30pm-8.30pmWhere: Withers KhattarWong LLP\, 18 Cross Street\, Level 14\, Singapore 048423(nearest MRT station: Telok Ayer\, DT18 – 5 min walk away)Price (includes food and drinks):– $15 for a dues-paying HCS member each (includes HCS-HBS Dual member) and a guest each– $30 for a Harvard alumni (non-dues-paying member and non- HCS- HBS Dual member)  \n\n\n\nImportant note:Tickets are non-refundable\, so please make sure to confirm your membership status before buying. \n\n\n\nAbout Richard EuRichard Eu is a fourth-generation member of the Eu family and one of Singapore’s most influential business leaders.
