Former TVB actor Steven Ma has stepped down from his role as chief executive officer of Metro Radio and is set to take on a new corporate position with healthcare company Hin Sang Group.
Metro Radio announced on May 11 that the 54-year-old would be leaving the company for personal reasons, with his resignation taking effect on May 20.
Shortly after the announcement, Hin Sang Group revealed that Steven will be appointed as vice-chairman, executive director and co-chief executive officer of the company.
As Hin Sang Group is a publicly listed company, Steven’s remuneration package was disclosed in accordance with listing requirements. Media reports stated that he is expected to receive an annual salary of HK$2.52 million (approximately S$409,000), excluding bonuses and other incentives.
Steven began his entertainment career in 1993 after signing with Hong Kong broadcaster TVB. He rose to prominence through several television dramas, including his role in the popular 1998 series The Duke of Mount Deer.
After leaving TVB in 2012, he explored various ventures beyond acting, including studying Chinese medicine and operating tuition centres. In 2020, he completed an Executive MBA programme at Peking University.
He later returned to collaborate with TVB in 2021, where he was invited to head the broadcaster’s artiste training department. In 2022, he was also elected as a co-opted member of the Art Form Sub-committee (Theatre) under Hong Kong’s Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
Steven’s latest appointment marks another career transition as he expands his involvement in the corporate and healthcare sectors following years in the entertainment industry.
