Transforming global logistics Thompson’s entrepreneurial journey traces back to 1965 when he aimed to raise the bar and set a new standard for logistics services in Asia. Over the ensuing six decades, his vision transformed Crown Worldwide Group from a small Hong Kong-based business into a global logistics leader with operations in 45 countries. "Transforming Crown from a Hong Kong business to a global enterprise was our most significant innovation,” Thompson says.

In the early 1990s, as the internet was just emerging and becoming accessible, Crown leveraged its potential to establish instant connections between its offices and clients.
