Clive Ng

Overview

Clive Ng is a media sector financier and executive with over 20 years of experience in the Asian markets. He has been instrumental in several joint-venture partnerships between American companies and Asian firms, particularly during the Internet and e-commerce boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s. He has also been a founding shareholder in Asian new media firms such as MTV Japan and E*TRADE Asia. In 1994, as deputy chairman of Wilton Group, PLC, Ng spearheaded the company's entry into Asian media markets. He financed the establishment of a Chinese-language satellite television channel for Chinese-speaking communities in Europe called Chinese Channel, in partnership with Hong Kong–based Shaw Brothers Ltd. Later that year, he acquired a 20% stake in the Asian interests of Denver-based cable television operator United International Holdings (now Liberty Global), and set up a joint venture between UIH and United Artists Theatres to open a series of cineplexes in key cities in Asia. Ng co-founded C Ventures in 2017, a specialist 'youth culture' investment firm established by Adrian Cheng. C Ventures focuses on disruptive businesses in technology, lifestyle, and media, targeting Millennials and Generation Z. The firm has over 20 investments globally, including Moda Operandi, Bandier, DayDayCook, Dazed Media, Beautycon, Armarium, Threads Styling, Aibee, YOHO, GoLong, and Gritworld. Ng currently serves as Vice Chairman of Dazed Media and as a Board Member of Bandier and Armarium.
