The Executive Committee of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children (“HKSPC”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Virginia Wilson as the Executive Director of HKSPC, effective 1 June 2026. Ms. Wilson will succeed Ms. Subrina Chow whom HKSPC thanks for her four years of dedicated service.

Ms. Wilson brings to the role more than 20 years of leadership experience in childcare, education and social service sectors in Hong Kong and across the Asia Pacific region. She has achieved outstanding results advocating for at-risk children, particularly in advancing support for children with special education needs (SEN). She has championed the training of caregivers to elevate the quality of care in residential care homes and other under-resourced settings.

“Virginia possesses a rare combination of operational prowess, a deep passion for the safeguarding of vulnerable children in our community, and strategic planning for growth, making her the ideal Executive Director to steer HKSPC into its centenary and beyond” said Mr. Vincent Lee, Chairman of the HKSPC Executive Committee.

Hong Kong–born and fluent in Cantonese and English, Ms. Wilson is a mission-driven leader with a career-long commitment to child welfare. As CEO of the Child Development Centre for 13 years, she expanded early intervention for children with SEN in Hong Kong. Later, as COO of OneSky, she scaled caregiver training for vulnerable youth across Asia.

Most recently, as COO of Rugby School Thailand, she managed operations for 1,100+ students, institutionalizing rigorous safeguarding and child-protection standards at scale. By combining complex operational expertise with a deep dedication to child advocacy, Ms. Wilson is uniquely prepared to lead HKSPC into its next century of measurable impact.
