Ray Kwok
Head of Corporate Communications
Epic Group
Ray Kwok is Head of Corporate Communication at Epic Group, a global apparel manufacturer with 30,000+ employees across 17 facilities worldwide.

With over eight years in corporate communications across manufacturing and investment sectors, Ray is driven by the belief that great communication builds trust, strengthens culture, and delivers tangible business impact.
