Background

About Ivan Lu

I lead organizations through complexity by scaling profitable growth with clarity, disciplined execution, and strategic choices. I currently serve as a General Manager within Unilever Foods North Asia, with end-to-end P&L accountability for a defined portfolio. Having lived and worked in Taipei, Shanghai, Rotterdam, and Singapore, I bring strong cross-cultural agility and the ability to align diverse teams behind common priorities. My leadership focus is on operational excellence as a growth enabler—translating direction into focused planning, deliberate resource deployment, clear governance, and performance rhythms that allow the organisation to grow with speed, consistency, and resilience. At my core, I am a builder of confidence in others. I believe sustainable performance comes from emotional steadiness, open conversations, and leaders who manage both results and organisational energy under pressure.
