About Us
Mei Ling Ng Liu, MA, MBA – Founder
Mei Ling, a multilingual international marketing professional, now lives in Hong Kong after 30 years in Europe and North America.
After a brilliant international corporate career, Mei Ling became an entrepreneur. She built, then sold, her hugely successful business at its peak, and decided she would champion the cause of HK women, who have long been suffering the disadvantages of gender imbalance. Flew to study matchmaking in New York, she completed her internship in USA & Europe before returning home to establish HK Matchmakers in 2007… the rest is history. HK Matchmakers has since become the most reputable in the industry in Asia with associate offices in Los Angeles, London, Melbourne, and shortly, in GBA China.
Author of several best sellers, Mei Ling wrote “The Diamond Matchmaker” for HK Economic Times’ ETNet for 4 years, and was voted one of their top ten columnists. (English with Chinese translations). Her first TV series in Paris was an instant sensation, to be followed by hundreds more across five different countries. A popular public speaker, Mei Ling also gave lectures on Soft Skills at VTC’s PEAK College.
Mei Ling remains very active in social community services.
