Dr Macy Wong is the Head of the CPCE Employability Services Office (CESO) and a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Business and Hospitality Management (BHM). She also serves as Programme Leader of the Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in International Business, and Management Discipline Leader at BHM.

After working in the business consultancy and commercial sectors for several years, Dr Wong pursued her career in academia. Her academic training in Business Administration from Monash University and University of Newcastle has led her to interdisciplinary fields of research, teaching and learning. She is currently a professional member of the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management. Her research and teaching interests are in the fields of Strategic Management, International Business, Entrepreneurship, Human Resource Management and Higher Education. Her work has been published in reputable peer-reviewed international journals and presented at international academic conferences.
As the Head of CESO, Dr Wong is committed to leading the Office in providing all-round employability services and employment related activities beneficial to students’ career development. From 2017 to 2025, she successfully secured over HK$23.2 million in competitive funding—approximately 98% from external sources and 2% from internal sources—from PolyU CPCE, the Research Grants Council, and Education Bureau under the Self-financing Post-secondary Education Fund (SPEF).This sustained success in grant acquisition is driven by her proactive pursuit of both research and employability funding. Her efforts secure resources for research in her fields, while channeling substantial QESS (Quality Enhancement Support Scheme) support into high-impact employability initiatives that directly benefit students. The funding facilitates the design and evaluation of evidence-based interventions providing structured pathways for students to explore careers, build professional networks, and translate classroom learning into workplace competencies, and in turn, improve students’ career readiness and long-term employability outcomes.
