My Story

Everyone asks me what drives me as a creative entrepreneur, executive coach and communication trainer? For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by media production and storytelling. As a young girl growing up in Hong Kong, I would record songs and stories in cassette tapes and went on to work at radio stations, even trained as a DJ and a presenter.

My competitive spirit, with a passion for helming initiatives in digital content and making alliances happen led me to work at some of the biggest Fortune 500 media and technology companies - FOX (formerly STAR TV), Dolby Laboratories and Twitter (Greater China content & media lead). It was immensely gratifying to lead the first ever “Voice of China” TV show using Dolby broadcast technology, a big win. It remains one my most memorable career highlights, navigating multiple cultural nuances and a diverse set of partners to activate this cultural zeitgeist for Chinese audiences. All of this while actually carrying a big baby bump; 7 months pregnant with my son!

In my professional journey of the past two decades, I witnessed the change in the media industry from linear technology to going digital, with the rise of emerging Asia. Working with prominent international media, credible names in the silicon valley including Twitter and Times Internet, as well as family owned media businesses, I have helped these organizations scale their networks and grow their presence in the region.

After creating my own startups across interactive television, digital art sales, even a food social network EATIZEN.net, I moved into the creatively satisfying, non-stop frenzy of content business and intensely challenging corporate role at Twitter. All of these experiences helped build my risk-taking appetite and added to my skills in media training and executive coaching.

My passion to help leaders grow and succeed led me on this journey to "officially" becoming an executive coach in 2019. I am accredited by the International Coaching Federation besides, and a certified Facilitator for Cultural Intelligence by the Cultural Intelligence Center, as well as accredited facilitator for Team Management Profile (TMP). Among my most prominent clients are tech start-up founders, international corporations, consumer brands,
public organizations and entrepreneurs across Greater China and overseas.


Currently, I am based in my beloved home city of Hong Kong, wholeheartedly devoting my energy to advancing TCP Growth (The Cultural Programs) to new heights. Collaborating with our esteemed international training and coaching partners, we are on a mission to spread the power of adaptive-yet-authentic communication, uniting individuals from diverse cultures. Our goal is to build bridges and catalyse human connections. 

Let's embark on this journey together!

More About Me

Here’s what I think - being an entrepreneur and a mom are two of the hardest jobs in the world. And I am learning valuable lessons on both these journeys. 

I am a mom of two happy boys, with a very supportive husband. As a cross-cultural family, we love to explore nature. When I’m not juggling meetings and calls, I enjoy swimming, movies, food and a quiet stroll by the sea to recharge my energy and slow down on a regular basis.
