Global Leadership with Proven Track Records
Rodney Miles is the current co-chairman of TutorABC and is a pioneering entrepreneur with over five decades of global retail and e-commerce leadership. He is best known for driving the explosive growth of Watsons, Asia's leading health and beauty retailer. He began with just 8 stores and was responsible for laying the foundation that grew the brand into a global giant with over 15,000 stores—including opening Watsons' first store in Taiwan on Chung Hsiao East Road in the 1980s.
He later founded and built StrawberryNet, one of the world's first global online retailers of beauty and fragrance products. As a pioneer in cross-border online retail, he served millions of customers across more than 200 countries, offering over 30,000 SKUs from 800 global brands including Chanel, Christian Dior, Clinique, Estée Lauder, La Mer, La Prairie, Lancôme, L'Oréal, SK-II, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL), and many others.
Rodney's career began at Sainsbury's, one of the UK's largest supermarket chains, under the mentorship of Chairman John Sainsbury (later Lord Sainsbury of Preston Candover), where he developed a lifelong commitment to operational excellence, customer service, and strategic innovation.
Samuel Yang, CFA, is a seasoned investment banker and educator with over 25 years of experience. At Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch he previously managed over USD 3 billion and specialized in venture capital, pre-IPO, and IPO investments. Additionally for over 20 years he has served as the chief representative in Taiwan for Kaplan, one of the world's largest education companies listed on the NYSE.
He was educated at Cambridge University for a Master's degree in Entrepreneurship, and City University of London for a degree in Investment and Financial Risk Management. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and was an instructor for all three levels of the CFA exams, and was the lead trainer for the analyst training programs at Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, and Julius Baer. He is also a certified Franklin Covey trainer, specializing in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and has used his expertise to develop and mentor young leaders globally – reaching over 160 partner high-schools in more than 30 countries across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
As Co-Chairman and CEO of TutorABC, Samuel drives the company's global mission to deliver a "first-class education, in a first-class way, with first-class people." Samuel also leads The Yang Foundation, supporting education and cultural exchange programs across the world, and serves as Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei, and Chairman of the YPO East West Chapter.
