Dear Members and Friends of DUSA,

Our valued Board Director, Julien Boussu, has last year moved to Shanghai. As a result, Julien has stepped down from his position on the DUSA Board. On behalf of the entire DUSA Board, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Julien for his remarkable support during the last year. His significant contribution, especially in elevating our Controlling Forum to a true highlight on the DUSA calendar. As member of the Steering Committee of the Controlling Forum, Julien will still strong support DUSA in future.

In accordance with our Articles of Association, the DUSA board has reduced the number of Board of Directors from six to five seats and has appointed Gavin Chen Treasury of DUSA taking over the Treasury role from Julien. At the same time, Oscar Wu, our long-standing DUSA Director of the Board, has been appointed to take over the General Management from Julien.

We are delighted to welcome Gavin Chen to the DUSA team, with immediate effect. 

Warm regards,

The DUSA Chairman
