My science background and entrepreneurial experience have exposed me to technological advancements and underscored the imperative to explore new venture-investor collaborations and firm innovations in AI-driven industries. Beginning as a certified electrical engineer, I designed Beijing's largest shopping mall, New World Department Store. After completing my MBA at the National University of Singapore, I transitioned into a strategic advisory role at Fortune 500 multinational firms like Schneider Electric and ABB Electric, expanding my entrepreneurial networks.

​

I then founded a strategy consulting firm to advise Chinese startups on organizational structuring, IPOs, and M&As. Notable achievements include guiding two educationally disadvantaged entrepreneurs to success; I mentored an entrepreneur from the inception of his venture to its international expansion, till its eventual listing (stock code: 831564) and assisted another female entrepreneur in acquiring a family business in Europe. I engaged in socially impactful projects, including building wind power plants in Xinjiang Uyghur region, benefiting millions in poverty.

 

I am dedicated to fostering development opportunities for firms from diverse backgrounds, which has inspired me to pursue an academic research path.
