Barbara Meynert is a macro-strategic thinker, innovation catalyst, and board-level advisor guiding institutions and businesses through the pivotal transitions shaping the 21st century — from AI and digital finance to resilient supply chains and new economic architectures.

With a distinguished career spanning investment banking (Rothschild, Kredietbank, SHK International, Barclays BZW), global trade and supply chain leadership (Fung Group), and statutory roles (Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, Hong Kong Airport Authority), Barbara operates at the intersection of technology, finance, and geopolitics.

Her board and advisory experience includes UN ESCAP, International Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong–ASEAN Economic Cooperation Foundation, Hong Kong Cyberport, Astana International Financial Centre, and World Digital Chamber.
