Ling Fang is a woman on a mission, and as Senior Vice President of transport solutions giant Alstom Asia Pacific, what she’s achieving is nothing short of inspirational. Not only is Ling slamming home runs with the company’s performance, but she’s also shattering glass ceilings and proudly leading diversity in the sector. Alstom is recognised globally as one of the leading suppliers of integrated transport systems and offers a complete range of transport solutions including systems, equipment and services. The recently revised company brand, ‘mobility by nature’, reflects the Group’s goal of being “the leading global innovative player for a sustainable and smart mobility”.
Alstom has been in the Asia–Pacific region for more than 60 years and has been involved with many iconic transportation projects in the region including the construction of almost all metro lines in Singapore, the recently inaugurated Sydney Metro in Australia and metro projects in Chennai, Kochi and Lucknow in India. Today, Alstom Asia Pacific represents 11 per cent of the Alstom Group’s global revenue.
Having worked for more than 20 years in the region, Ling has a clear understanding of the different markets and cultural needs. With Ling providing leadership and strategic direction to support growth in the major Asia–Pacific markets, the company is in safe hands – the results speak for themselves.
Born in China, Ling studied in both China and France, where she graduated with a master’s degree in finance and business administration from ESCP in Paris, one of the country’s top business schools. In 1995, Ling joined Alstom in Paris as an internal auditor. “It was a great experience, as it allowed me to get a deep knowledge of Alstom’s different business units,” she says.
