The Canadian government today announced the appointment of Eugene Kwan to a three-year term on the 11-member board of directors of the government port authority that oversees the Canadian ports of Vancouver, Frasier River and North Frasier River.
Kwan, whose appointment to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority was announced by Canadian Transport Minister John Baird, currently serves as the president and chief executive officer of Agincourt Capital Corporation and senior counsel to Stikeman Elliott LLP, an international business law firm based in Canada. Kwan previously served as a senior executive with Hutchison Whampoa Group. Prior to joining Hutchison, he served as a partner and managing director of Stikeman Elliott where he was in charge of the firm's Hong Kong office.
