Apart from the role as Chairman and CEO of Carlsberg Greater China during the period from 2006 to 2014, Sunny was also the chief of the M & A team. He set the strategic plans for Carlsberg’s long-term development in Greater China and led a team from identifying potential merge & acquisition targets, closing of deals to post-acquisition activities. The team had since 2002 successfully acquired 59 breweries in twelve provinces in China and increased the production plants from 1 to 60, with a total workforce up to 15,000. Through the successful development of individual strategies and team building across all the operations, the acquired local brands held either number 1 or 2 market share position in their provinces and had strong distribution network. Sunny also led the cross-cultural commercial teams to significantly improve the business of Carlsberg’s international brands in China through the launch of Carlsberg Chill in 2006 and development of platforms for Tuborg before its commercial launch in early 2010’s.
