Andrew Chung

CEO

Andrew Chung established Compass Offices with the vision of creating a serviced office

provider that would revolutionise the industry by introducing transparency, innovative

solutions and by forging partnerships and genuine relationships with clients.

Since opening the first Compass Offices location in Hong Kong in December 2009,

Andrew has seen Compass Offices become the fastest-growing serviced office provider

in Asia, currently expanding at the rate of one new location every two months and is the

largest serviced office provider in Central, Hong Kong.

Andrew was born and educated in the United Kingdom, where he originally trained and

qualified as a Chartered Accountant before joining KPMG in Hong Kong.

He founded his own recruitment company, Wall Street Associates, in 1997, and it quickly

grew to become one of Asia's leading independent recruitment firms. In 2005, Andrew

sold Wall Street Associates Hong Kong to Talent2, owned by Andrew Banks and Geoff

Morgan, formerly of the recruitment firm Morgan & Banks.

Andrew is the founder and investor of a number of specialised recruitment companies

and as the Chairman of International Recruitment Investments, enjoys funding new

start-ups. In 1999, Andrew funded (and later sold) Wall Street Associates Japan, which

was founded and managed by Nicholas Johnston.

Chief Operating Officer

Lachlan co-founded Compass Offices in 2009 with business partner Andrew Chung. As COO, he currently oversees the company’s regional operations and Compass Offices’ rapid growth plans across Asia Pacific.

Under Lachlan’s leadership, and background in technology and entrepreneurship, Compass Offices is setting a new direction in the industry through its use of innovative and transparent solutions and world-class, banking-grade IT infrastructure.

Lachlan started his own dotcom business straight out of university, giving him solid understanding of sales and operations at an early age, before taking these skills and knowledge to a boutique technology recruitment firm in his home town of Auckland, New Zealand.

Always interested in Asia, he joined ConnectedGroup in 2001, a recruitment firm based in Hong Kong. He was quickly promoted to head of the firm's technology division.

In 2003, Lachlan joined Hong Kong recruitment firm Wall Street Associates, serving first as Chief Operating Officer and then as Chief Executive Officer.

In July 2007, Lachlan moved into the Managed Services business unit of Talent2 Asia.
