Nochi, commonly known as Leo, has an extensive academic background. Graduated with MSc in Economics and Finance (Distinction) from KCL, he also studied in the United States, Australia, and Hong Kong, with a Master’s degree of Business Administration, a Master’s degree in Government and Commercial Law, a Master’s degree of Accounting, and a Bachelor’s degree in Information Engineering.

Leo has held both teaching and management roles in universities and higher education institutes since 2010, in Hong Kong and the UK. He won two teaching awards in 2013 and 2016 respectively. Before working in higher education, he worked as manager in a publicly listed utility company and associate director of an investment firm. He has worked in over 30 cities in 10 countries.

Leo does not like staying in any comfort zone and is always doing or learning something new. He has recently completed an NVQ certificate course in women hairdressing, and have since then started learning social dancing with his wife. He plans to learn to speak a new language or to play piano later, but it depends on his progress of finishing the whole series of Final Fantasy console games, of which Leo is a great fan.
