At-Large | Head of Business Pursuit, Exams at the British Council
“Relocated to Beijing during the pandemic in 2022, I have witnessed many opportunities and challenges that businesses face during this unprecedented time. By joining the ExCo, I would like to support the member companies to further develop our understanding of post-Covid economic recovery and everchanging business environment, and to enhance our members’ collaborative influence to the UK China business policy and wider corporate environment. In addition, working with the British Council, a member business with one of the largest British employee population, I have grown a keen interest in contributing to the development of a stronger member community of the Chamber and promoting a culture of inclusion and diversity of our joint British Chinese work force.”
Sylvia Li joined British Council in 2022 to head the Exams’ business pursuit and develop strategic partnerships for the entire global exams portfolio of British Council in China, including IELTS, Aptis, professional qualifications, and university and school exams. Prior to joining the British Council in China, for 15 years, Sylvia has been leading a few British universities’ recruitment and partnership development in East Asia and Oceania markets for the UK Higher Education sector.
