Singapore, 2024 – November 01, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Leo International Group, a family business founded in 1938, has grown to become Asia’s largest top-tier brand agency distribution group, operating across a diverse range of industries, including private butler services, charity, religion, trade, warehousing, logistics, catering, and education. According to a report currently published by “The Icons” , Leo Wang, Chairman and Founder of Leo International Group, has built the company with a strong commitment to “altruism” and century-old heritage at its foundation.
As the eldest son of the fourth generation, Leo Wang has been inspired by the concept of ” century-old inheritance” from a young age. His deep passion for history has driven him to study century-old brands from China and abroad. Through his exploration, Wang discovered that while innovation is essential for businesses to adapt to different eras, the true key to success lies in the leadership’s mission and vision. For Wang, maintaining a focus on contributing to the greater good and creating virtuous cycles for both society and the company is crucial for a long-lasting enterprise.
“Our family legacy has always been about contributing to the world,” Wang shared. “Whether through social charity or my roles as a general manager in century-old foreign companies, the focus has always been on how we can create value not just for individuals but for the world at large.”
Since its founding in 2016, Leo International Group has rapidly expanded to become Asia’s leading top-tier brand agency distribution group. Over the past five years, the company has formed partnerships with more than 170 international luxury brands and manages 4,600 private jets across 300 cities globally. In addition to these achievements, Leo International Group offers membership privileges at over 5,000 luxury hotels worldwide and is highly regarded as Asia’s “leading guide to top-tier lifestyle.”
Wang attributes the group’s impressive global development to embedding the spirit of “altruism” into the very DNA of the company. The group’s “win-win” collaborations with its hundreds of partner brands have fostered long-lasting relationships and created mutually beneficial outcomes.
“The founders of century-old brands have a dual focus,” Wang explained. “One is the continuous pursuit of business success, and the other is their dedication to the world. The core soul of a century-old inheritance must be empathy with the world.”
This altruistic philosophy has not only propelled Leo International Group’s success but has also influenced its partners. The company integrates businesses from across different industries, including health seminars, asset trend seminars, art, technology, equestrianism, yachting, supercars, luxury goods, and more. These offerings provide a comprehensive lifestyle service to their elite clients, ensuring that their needs are met through seamless and personalized experiences.
In addition to its business success, Leo International Group places a strong emphasis on corporate social responsibility. Under Wang’s leadership, the company has been a long-time supporter of the Chinese Childrenhome & Shelter Association (CCSA), focusing on child welfare and education. Wang believes that education is the foundation of societal progress and that supporting the next generation is critical for the future.
“Orphanages typically care for children until they turn 15, but I believe the decade after they leave is equally important in shaping their lives,” Wang explained. “During those critical ten years, the people they meet and the experiences they have will influence them for the rest of their lives.”
CCSA provides not only care and financial support for living and education but also mentorship programs. Successful young individuals, who were once supported by the association, return to share their stories and mentor the younger generation. These mentors now hold positions at top companies like TSMC and Microsoft, using their experiences to inspire and guide children who face similar challenges.
Wang’s dedication to education stems from his own upbringing. His mother, a nun involved in social welfare, instilled in him the importance of giving back to society. “From a young age, I saw people coming to my mother for help, and she always believed in taking from society and giving back,” Wang shared.
As Leo International Group continues to expand, its leadership remains committed to Wang’s vision of altruism and societal contribution. The company is currently preparing for a listing on the US NASDAQ, expected within the next 18 to 36 months. This milestone is part of the group’s broader plan for global expansion. Already a leader in Asia, the group operates across key cities including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, and is now setting its sights on Europe and the Americas.
“Heading towards a NASDAQ listing is not just about business growth; it’s about amplifying our impact on the world,” Wang explained. “Our mission has always been about integrating resources to make the world a better place.”
The company’s future plans include further expansion into cities like Sanya, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Jakarta, Tokyo, and Dubai. Early 2024 will see a series of VIP events in collaboration with private banks, investment banks, and yacht clubs, offering luxury seminars on health, asset trends, and more. These events will be held in major Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and Taipei, with additional expansions planned for Europe and North America post-IPO.
Leo International Group’s business scope spans across industries and sectors, with plans to further integrate over 33 cross-industry brand partners. Wang likens his business model to a “top-tier lifestyle version of Berkshire Hathaway,” rapidly acquiring businesses and investing in companies with strong growth potential.
“As our business grows, so does our responsibility,” Wang said. “We will continue to invite outstanding leaders from all walks of life to join us in making the world a better place.”
