The executive director of the Hong Kong Productivity Council, Wilson Fung Wing-yip, has resigned from the statutory body to take up a senior post with the Airport Authority.
The former civil servant will become the executive director, corporate development of the authority, overseeing airport development projects. He will report to chief executive Stanley Hui Hon-chung.
But it remained uncertain yesterday when Fung, who began a second three-year term last year, will take up the new job.
'There is never a right time to leave an organisation, particularly HKPC which is so dear to my heart,' Fung said. 'But I think the time is right for me to move on as all the major reforms I introduced have now firmly taken root.'
Fung took up the post as executive director in 2006 after serving as an administrative officer for over 20 years.
He was deputy permanent secretary for economic development and labour before he joined the Productivity Council.
