A quarter century later, he built on the lessons learned there - as well as at other parks in the US and Europe - to ensure that Ocean Park Hong Kong did not whither in the shadow of another Disney resort. As the chief executive of Ocean Park Hong Kong from 2004 - 2016, Tom oversaw the attraction's transformation into a leading world-class family-travel destination that welcomes more than seven million visitors annually. A graduate of California State University Fullerton, Tom subsequently launched Universal Studio's first resort in China, Universal Studios Beijing. He is currently the President and Chief Operating Officer (Pacific Rim) of Universal Parks and Resorts.view less
