Stef Teng has been appointed the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Asia, at Warner Music Group (WMG).
On Tuesday, 10 May, WMG shared that Teng will take up this newly created role in the company. Teng's appointment ties in with WMG's commitment to constructing an inclusive and diverse environment for its musicians. While based in Hong Kong, Teng will work closely with the staff of WMG across the Asian region.
"Music is an art form capable of transcending linguistic divides, and is an enabler of self-discovery, empathy and change," says Teng in a statement.
"When my younger self was desperately trying to make sense of my own identity, music connected me to the experiences of LGBT+ artists and helped me feel less alone. The power of music is incredible, and I look forward to becoming part of the team that steers the music industry on a journey towards building an inclusive and equitable experience that honours the rich diversity of our communities across Asia," she adds.
Teng will report to Dr. Maurice Stinnett, WMG’s Global Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Stinnett says: “I can’t wait for Stef to join us on our global DEI journey; she is a brilliant executive who has a deep understanding of the DEI world, invaluable regional experience, and a passion for music. I’m so pleased to have her come onboard and know she’ll play a critical role as we accelerate our new initiatives to deliver on our DEI commitments in Asia.”
Teng previously worked at HSBC as a Talent Manager, as well as a Diversity Equity & Inclusion Senior Manager at Manulife.
