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. What sets Ray apart is his unusual blend of finance acumen and creative communications expertise—having served as Assistant General Manager of Business Finance before transitioning to lead communications, he understands firsthand how strategic storytelling drives business results.

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. He’s equally comfortable crafting investor narratives, managing crisis situations, or building brands from scratch—having developed Epic Group’s digital platforms and led comprehensive rebranding initiatives alongside his communications mandate.

Before his current role, Ray spent over a decade at Li & Fung, where he orchestrated large-scale corporate events for 2,000+ participants and managed complex cross-functional operations. His career progression—from operations to finance to communications leadership—shapes how he approaches every challenge: with both analytical rigor and creative thinking.

Ray holds an MBA from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and is fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, enabling him to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes across cultures and markets.
