Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, GBM, GBS, JP (Chinese: 林鄭月娥; born 13 May 1957) is the Chief Executive-designate of Hong Kong, after winning the 2017 Chief Executive election. Before that she was the Chief Secretary for Administration, the most senior rank of principal officials of Hong Kong, from 2012 to 2017.
After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, Lam joined the civil service in 1980 and has served in various bureaux and departments. She became a principal official in 2007, when she was appointed Secretary for Development. During her service, she earned the reputation as a "tough fighter" from her handling of the demolition of the Queen's Pier.
She became the Chief Secretary under the Leung Chun-ying's administration in 2012. She headed the Task Force on Constitutional Development on the political reform from 2013 to 2015 and held talks with the student leaders during the large-scale occupation protests in 2014.
In March 2017, Lam won the three-way election with 777 votes in the 1,194-member Election Committee as the Beijing-favoured candidate, beating former Financial Secretary John Tsang and retired judge Woo Kwok-hing, becoming the first female Chief Executive of Hong Kong. Lam received the appointment from Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on 11 April 2017.
