with fierce empathy
I am a passionate advocate of design thinking to unlock profit that’s more purposeful and purpose that’s more profitable. For over 25 years, I’ve directed multifaceted teams in a courageously collaborative approach to deliver business and marketing solutions for some of the world’s most iconic companies and organizations.
From insights and innovation to consulting and creative, I’ve steadfastly believed in a servant leadership style across ad agencies, design firms, and digital marketing groups with a consistent drive to build brands that make you feel something, do something, and say something. I’m honored to be a board member of an education nonprofit serving refugee children; a marketing advisor to a DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) tech startup; and a university guest lecturer on marketing with meaning.
Anchor, lone foodie, authentic Shanghainese, proud teacher since 2009. I pursue a love for languages. My Bachelor’s in English and my Master’s in linguistics made me realize that understanding a culture comes through understanding the language. One can only get to know people when there is a shared language.
I have a passion for reading and writing. I am bringing this as a teacher to Shanghainese kids in my spare time, opening up their minds for cultures beyond China.
Enlightened Hero, community builder, fashionista, and world’s best event organizer. I am passionate about people. I believe that people can only bring their best when they feel good and comfortable. At Innate Motion, I focus on bringing everyone along, so we can all shine together. Therefore I constantly train my empathy fitness and that of the people around me.
I love paying attention to details. Never a nuisance, always a pleasure. Thanks to my marketing and public relations studies, I learned the utmost importance of perfect service and presentation in business and life.
Graphic designer, dancer, animal lover, and islander. I grew up in a family environment radiating with creativity. Given full creative freedom from an early age, I dove deep into the world of visual arts and photography. My youth was spent tinkering with cameras, exploring editing programs, and filming everyday life. With an appetite for visuals, I found passion in the telling of stories through images and videos.
I pursued a study in communications to get a better understanding of the decisions behind all the stories, advertising, and PR of brands and products. In the past five years, I have had the pleasure of deepening my curiosity within the brand communications universe through my experiences in project management, social media marketing, graphic design, and startup companies. Now, I am on a path to further expand the scope of my knowledge by exploring how the human perspective and empathy practice play a role in decisions and strategies at a global scale.
I’m a welcome change practitioner and a natural-born silo shifter. I am passionate about sports like rugby or tennis and my family. I love to use business as a tool for creativity and community building. Hence I operate best as an entrepreneur, impact investor, and senior advisor, helping others build brands and use business as a force for good.
To better share my expertise in humanizing business, I’ve co-authored books like Creating value people to people, Activists Dare to Care, and Beyond the power girl. I co-founded Innate Motion, African Drive, The Regenerative Alliance, and Innate Active. Core to my leadership across all these businesses is the belief that business becomes infinitely more valuable for everyone when we create value together as people for people.
