Powering the future through people and partnerships: Jimmy Yam, VP, Electrical Sector, East Asia, Eaton

Jimmy Yam may have started his career analysing cash flow and assessing corporate assets, but he’s a firm believer that trust and comradeship are two of the most valuable currencies in business.

“Everything comes down to people. When it comes to building a successful partnership that lasts – be it with employees, customers, or partners, it’s all about rallying people around a shared purpose and establishing trust to make it a reality,” he commented.

Building trust and creating value

An accountant by training, Jimmy joined Eaton in August 2016 to helm the company’s electrical business in East Asia. Since then, building a winning team has been at the top of his agenda.

“Getting the right people for the right job and working out how to motivate and enable them to do work that they believe in is essential,” he says. “This is especially so when navigating uncertain and challenging marketing conditions like the 2018 financial crisis and the COVID pandemic.”
