Biography
Lam and her husband Yeung Kin-man own Hong Kong's Biel Crystal, which makes screens for smartphones.
Lam, Biel's chairman, owns 49% of the business; Yeung holds 51%.
Biel is the largest supplier of glass screens for cell phones, tablets and watches to Apple and employs 90,000 people around the world.
While weakening iPhone demand may affect shipments to Apple, they also supply to Samsung and Sony and have stated they expect stable revenue.
Since 2021 Biel has filed twice for a Hong Kong IPO but it never materialized.
