Ken Hui
Head of Wine Merchant Business, Asia
Upon graduating from CUHK, Ken accepted what he initially viewed as a temporary position at a local wine shop while contemplating his future. After working with and being mentored by some of the trade’s most knowledgeable and vibrant professionals, he was presented with the opportunity to work in private client sales. This led to a rewarding ten-year career at two other UK fine wine merchants, where he honed his skills in both buying and selling. With the support of a loyal network of private and trade clients, as well as a strong relationship with suppliers and the excitement of Acker’s vision, he was delighted to join the incredibly talented team in the second half of 2025. In his role overseeing the Merchant Sales business, he manages the portfolios and wine collections of key accounts.
Joey Luo
Managing Director, Asia Sales
Joey's passion for fine wine has been the foundation of her career since she began over a decade ago with a prestigious British wine merchant. Throughout her professional journey, she has dedicated herself to cultivating strong relationships with collectors across Greater China and Southeast Asia, helping them build their wine collections through strategic sourcing, insightful recommendations, and personalized trading services, while also hosting engaging events for a broader community. Her perspective is shaped by both formal qualifications, including the WSET Level 4 Diploma, and practical experience gained from living in Hong Kong and currently splitting her time between there and Bangkok. This background gives her a nuanced understanding of the Asian fine wine market. She is excited to continue this journey as part of the Acker team and looks forward to collaborating with fellow enthusiasts to curate collections that are both personally meaningful and valuable assets.
