Tony Dickel

CEO and Partner, Potential Project HK and China

Hong Kong

Tony’s current work is deeply grounded in many years in leadership positions in Asia across a variety of industries since 1986. Prior to establishing the Transcend International Group in 2008, Tony’s previous role was founder and CEO of the award winning MRI China Group, a leading multinational recruitment & solutions, outsourcing and talent management organization employing nearly 300 people across six countries in Asia, including 150 in mainland China. He grew the organization from scratch and was able to defeat many of the paradigms held both inside and outside the industry about its practices and drivers. It was during his tenure in this role that he discovered that the "coaching approach" was the best way to create, especially in a cross- cultural context, an environment of collaboration, teamwork and common ground where people are empowered, accountable and engaged. Tony successfully sold this business in 2010 and remains a member of its Board as a non-executive director.
