We know what you're thinking. So how exactly do you pronounce Leiho?
LEIHO
Lay-Ho
Leiho means 'how are you' in Cantonese and sometimes that's all we need to ask someone to show that we care.
MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE BRAND
Joey Li - CEO & Co-Founder
We often get caught up in our busy lives and forget to be kind to ourselves or take time off to do something good for someone else. You feel good when you do good and when we do good, it’s all of our kindness and compassion put together that really makes a positive difference in the world. I hope Leiho inspires people to deliver more acts of kindness because at the end of the day, we're not only helping someone in need but we're actually improving our own wellbeing and self worth too.
Thuta Khin - COO & Co-Founder
Originally from Myanmar, I’ve had experience in working with NGOs to fight poverty in underdeveloped regions. I believe that there is room for everyone to make a difference in this world with a simple act of kindness, no matter how big or small. Through Leiho, I hope to inspire people to be creative in the way they give back to their local communities!
Calum Hill - Head of Brand Development
I think where we can do good, we should do good. I suppose up until now the high majority of my work life hasn’t included this as much as I’d like, it’s important to feel like your work has a purpose and with Leiho I feel like my work can also have a positive impact and provide support to those in need of it. My background in journalism, marketing, and voluntary work has always provided me with more happiness when the message is positive and the work is meaningful. It’s exciting to see that more and more businesses are setting a positive example and with Leiho I really look forward to the future work and positive messages that we can share.
Plamedie Poto-Poto - Head of PR
I believe that kindness is a powerful and necessary act that every person can and should participate in. The passion Leiho has for philanthropy through its various works, is a purposeful vision that I’m excited to get behind. I’ll be using communication as a tool to spread the word about our projects, the impact we’re making and through this, inspire people to do good.
Dominic Chapman - Head of B2B Strategy
Having been in the industry for over 10 years, we are seeing consumers are demanding more purpose and impact now more than ever. I am thrilled to be a part of such an incredible team that puts people and the community at the heart of what they do. Balancing the commercial and impact side of your business will never be easy but the greatest things were never built easy.
Ralphie - CFO (Chief Fun Officer)
Ralphie is regularly seen and featured on our @leiho_uk instagram stories and posts. He’s known for striking a pose and zoomies. From starting as an intern for content creation to his promotion as CFO (Chief Fun Officer), Ralphie has a proven track record of making sure everyone is smiling and having a good time.
Hugo - Milestone Officer and Head of Security
Mental Health and wellbeing support is a priority at Leiho. When our team are busy working hard, our Milestone officer makes sure our team celebrates our successes and takes many breaks to play fetch. Not only does Hugo assist with sorting donations at our COO’s warehouse by sticking in his cute nose in every box but he is also a great security guard for making sure no one steals our stock.
