Fanny Chung

Founder & Corporte President

Expertise-driven progress backing top-quality service

Company founder Fanny Chung is an entrepreneurial solution-maker. In 1979, she conceived our vision of becoming a one-stop service provider for forwarding international freight. Her emphasis on around-the-clock service underpins our work ethics and origins as a perishables cargo specialist.

In 1990, Fanny adapted LMF’s advanced logistics network to meet the transportation needs of electronic-component manufacturers. Asia’s printed circuit boards (PCBs) were in demand around the world, leading LMF to expand routes and establish just-in-time (JIT) logistics and inventory management.

Ever-growing services portfolio to meet global demand

In 1997, Fanny invited Allen Cheng, former vice president of Morrison Express USA, to join the team and help LMF expand overseas, starting with Los Angeles, California. Allen now serves as CEO.

In 2005, Fanny relocated to Shanghai to position LMF as the gateway to China’s formidable market. As a firm believer of lifelong learning, she then enrolled in an EMBA program at Fudan University in 2008, for such pursuits in personal advancement bear fruit for the company as a whole.

By 2022, LMF has grown from a regional powerhouse into a seamless global network of 33 branch offices and 500-plus employees worldwide. Today, we’ve broaden our services to the satisfaction of clients ranging from the perishables business to precision technology, aeronautical, biomedical, and pharmaceutical companies.

Unwavering dedication: Always striving for your smile

LMF persevered through the US sub-prime mortgage crisis and global financial meltdown of 2007-08, and is braving the challenges wrought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic since 2019. Fanny believes that expertise, determination, and teamwork will conquer these obstacles and more. The quality of our service will only continue to grow, promises Fanny.

Iven Luo

Managing Director, Shenzhen & Guangzhou

Iven Luo is a sharp-eyed entrepreneur and the managing director of Leader Mutual Freight’s (LMF) Shenzhen office.

Apart from launching LMF’s Shenzhen division in 2012, Iven also founded Shenzhen Tongyunda Supply Chain Service Co., Ltd. in 2009; Shenzhen Hong Chi Logistics in 2012; and Huacheng International Trading (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. in 2014.

Iven is always on the lookout for the next big leap in logistics. He has not only restructured LMF’s Shenzhen services as a one-stop package encompassing international freight brokerage, air freight brokerage, and customs clearance, but also engineered a five-sector bundle offering logistical, trade, supply chain, informational, and financial solutions. This enables customers to entrust their non-essential operations to us, now a provider of financial services for logistical needs.

In addition to his LMF duties, Iven is currently the managing board director of the Shenzhen Federation of Young Entrepreneurs and an EMBA student at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School.

Tracy Shi

Managing Director, Ningbo

Tracy Shi is the managing director of Leader Mutual Freight’s (LMF) Ningbo office.

Tracy’s recent milestones include graduating from the business school of Zhejiang Gongshang University in 2003, joining LMF in 2009, and then finishing the EMBA program at Fudan University while still on the job — proving her passion for logistics. Tracy’s motivation illuminates her journey of personal and professional growth, deepening her resilience in a rapidly changing world.

Prior to joining LMF in 2009, Tracy worked at Hua Wei Group, leading a team in establishing two new departments dedicated to sales and freight consolidation for the US market.

After investing over a decade in studying the sea freight sector, Tracy manages a streamlined and brisk business reputed for stellar supply-chain management and competitive service. Her dedication to customer satisfaction stems from positive pragmatism: if extra care and attention enhances the competitiveness of each client, then this in turn will also enhance the competitiveness of LMF.

Tracy also pioneered our warehousing model in Ningbo, establishing an one-stop service line that starts with cargo storage, transportation, dock management, harbor customs and ends with each shipment safely stored in containers. Given Ningbo’s stature as a major port and industrial hub, this warehousing program revolutionized supply chains across east China.

Tracy is a relentless pioneer, one who optimizes each step and respects the wishes of all clients. Now LMF’s Ningbo office is a multi-service forwarder and consolidator of all freight shipping modes.

Cole Fu

General Manager, Nanjing & Hefei

Cole Fu is the general manager of Leader Mutual Freight’s (LMF) Nanjing office. His career in logistics started in 2002, which translates into two decades of experience today.

Prior to joining LMF, Cole worked at a state-owned freight forwarder in Anhui Province, rising through the ranks as deputy department manager, department manager, assistant to the general manager, and finally deputy general manager. During this time, he honed his skills at procuring and executing tax-free or -deductible projects, leading his team to complete a succession of technical transformation projects for Huainan Mining Industry Group. He also brokered deals introducing overseas government investment to Anhui Provincial Hospital and the Anhui Gate Station of China’s West–East Gas Pipeline.

Upon joining LMF in 2017, Cole stepped out of his comfort zone and took up the challenge of establishing new offices in Nanjing and Hefei. Undaunted, he started from scratch, concentrating on the semiconductor trade, teambuilding, and turning a profit for both new branches by the fourth year. Thanks to Cole, LMF now enjoys a strong foothold in the East China region.
