New York, NY—Hasselblad appointed Ming Thein as its chief of strategy. During his former role as a Hasselblad ambassador, Thein served industrial and corporate documentary clients across Asia and further afield.

“We are delighted to welcome Ming Thein onboard as our new chief of strategy.

Based out of Kuala Lumpur, Thein specializes in representing the life cycle of a company. This extends from the people behind the creation to the finished product—be it civil engineering projects, interiors or precision timepieces.

Location work is Thein’s forte, with clients that include some of the largest developers and construction firms in Asia. He also holds an MA in Physics from the University of Oxford and served as a director at various finance and private equity firms in Asia before pursuing his lifelong dream of something visual, creative and specifically involving photography.

In his new role as chief of strategy at Hasselblad, Thein will use his customer experience insights to influence the future product road map. He will also help strengthen Hasselblad’s market position and meet the needs of semiprofessional and professional photographers.

“I’m very excited to enter the next chapter of my relationship with Hasselblad. It is an honor to work with a brand that has such a strong history and such great people. I look forward to helping shape the company’s future product strategy to ensure Hasselblad continues to be a leader in photography, image quality and supporter of the arts,” Thein commented.
