Hong Kong Cyberport has appointed Dr Rocky Cheng as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective 3 April 2024. Dr Rocky will take the helm following the completion of Peter Yan’s six-year term.
With over 30 years of experience in the information technology and financial sectors, Dr Rocky brings a robust background in developing innovation and technology (I&T).

“As Cyberport enters its 21st year and has been commissioned by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (HKSAR) Government to undertake various I&T initiatives, I believe Dr Rocky after joining the management will lead Cyberport to ride on its strong groundwork built over the years to forge ahead, taking our public missions forward to strengthen I&T foundations in Hong Kong, and open up new frontiers for development, injecting new momentum into Hong Kong’s development as an international I&T hub.”
