The Gerety Awards organization was very sad to learn about the passing of Jury President for the Hong Kong executive jury session, Kitty Lun, while preparing this announcement. Onie Chu, Executive Director at HK4As and host of the session said “When we began planning the inaugural Gerety Awards judging session in Hong Kong, one of the first and most important decisions was who could lead it as Jury President. We needed someone with unquestionable creative prowess, deep industry respect, and the ability to bring together a room of accomplished women. For me, there was only one name that came to mind: Kitty Lun. To be honest, I felt that if Kitty accepted the role, then we would have the panel. That was the kind of respect she commanded. Her achievements spoke for themselves, but what made Kitty truly special was her generosity, wisdom and authenticity.
Kitty’s role at Meta was testament to her leadership, but what made her voice especially valuable was that she never lost touch with the craft. She remained close to the creative process and the people driving it. She was not looking back on a creative career, she was still living it.
Kitty embraced the opportunity with her characteristic warmth and enthusiasm, helping to make that inaugural Hong Kong jury a reality. We were fortunate to have her lead that first Gerety chapter in Hong Kong, and her contribution will remain an important part of its story. Kitty will be deeply missed.”
