Previous companies - PortXL, CSL, O2, Yahoo!, 3Com, DEC, IBM, Acer, IDC I was a corporate woman prior to retiring 1st time in NY for personal pursuits. Then I retired a 2nd time in HK after my CMO stint at HK mobile service provider CSL. During my retirement for 8 years, I dabbled a little in fashion wholesale and retail. As of 2017, I have completely immersed in the startup economy and serve as a bridge between corporates and startups through communities and angel investing network. Through C-shark Tank program, we have operated 10 seasons last 4 years coaching more than 100 startups a year to pitch to Csuite executives with corporate DNA. We have grown our angel group to 170 and startup portfolio to 30. Next Season 10 will be our last. In 2022, we launched ChiefX peer network program to address broader needs of senior executives of global multinationals. We have revamped chiefX Asia to support Fortune 500 MNC executives with more than 20 years to keep up with market changes and expand their network to beyond their own verticals. Further, I delight in positioning women in strength hence I have featured more than 120 women in 11 WomenChangemakers in-person events in 3 cities over 18 months and brought it online through a 9-week lunch series during covid and a couple more post covid. I consider myself most fortunate to have had breakthrough opportunities at large corporates and hence my strong belief in giving back now to the startup community, leveraging the great insights and experience I have gathered internationally. • 22 years of market research, e-commerce, sales, marketing, GM experience in IT / mobile / dotcom industries • Strategic IT market view and matrix organization insights in US, Europe, Asia. • Launched world’s first Microsoft windows-based smartphone with O2 (manufactured by HTC), using unconventional channels and operator contracts - revenue from 0 to $300mil • Proven entrepreneurial mindset in large corporates by pioneering divisions and/or categories and/or markets Strategic, analytical yet hands-on and bold.

Meet Your Peers exists because meaningful growth rarely happens in crowds. We believe the best conversations happen in small groups—nsmall enough for trust,and diverse enough for perspective. We believe learning with peers matters as much as learning from those ahead of us. Because peers don’t just inspire— they empathize with the journey, the doubts, and the trade-offs. Some gatherings are professional, carefully curated by peer level. Others are social, built around shared interests and curiosity. It’s a space and community to engage— deeply, respectfully, and humanly. Check out instagram.com/meetyourpeers or facebook.com/meetyourpeers
