Since joining PDD 7 years ago as Managing Director Asia, Oliver has applied his expertise in product development and unique insight into manufacturing to help our clients translate blue-sky innovations into commercially successful products.
Oliver’s German heritage infuses a sensibility for precision and detail into his work, with a focus on users, market relevance and technology. His life in Hong Kong also informs his approach to design, with a thorough understanding of how East-West influences can impact aesthetics, efficiencies and the pace of innovation.

In order to ensure a smooth product identification in an overly-saturated and highly-competitive market, it is crucial to offer customers an outstanding brand experience. Building a brand will systematically integrate and convey complex corporate concepts and successfully make your business stand out, creating therefore a higher value and career benefits. Here at PDD, we always start with product design and identification then introduce the whole process from product development to commercialisation and find the best balance between creativity and feasibility.
PDD Shanghai in collaboration with Process Group will host the Brand Innovation and Evolution event on 11th September 2018 from 1:30 p.m. at Xingguo Hotel B, No.78 Xingguo Road, Shanghai. Charles Ingrey-Senn 孙卓然 Principal – Design Innovation at PDD Asia will be present to cover the topic of Industrial Design and Innovation. Charles’ speech will be followed by a Q&A session.
