About

With over seven years of professional experience, I specialize in project management, business development, and strategic partnerships. As the Project and Business Development Manager at Baidu, I am committed to advancing the company’s global autonomous driving strategy by fostering meaningful collaborations and implementing innovative solutions. My passion for shaping the future of sustainable transport aligns seamlessly with Baidu's mission to lead in cutting-edge AI and mobility solutions. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my policy analysis and public affairs expertise to create impactful change. At Baidu, I contribute to the development and execution of overseas strategies for autonomous driving, working closely with cross-functional teams and strategic partners to drive growth and innovation. My previous role as Senior External Affairs Officer at The Hong Kong Jockey Club strengthened my expertise in government and external affairs, as well as project management. These experiences have honed my ability to navigate complex stakeholder engagements and deliver results that align with both organizational and societal goals.
