Work and/or academic experiences
My core interests center on new funds formation, cross-border partnerships, non-market strategies in emerging markets, and strategic reorientations like pivots and turn-arounds.
My fascination with these topics stems from researching with Professors Jordan Siegel, Julia Lee, Rory McDonald and Cheng Gao, and from studying in China. By learning from heads of state and world leaders at Schwarzman College, I became more keenly aware of how cross-border connectivity, institutions, and crises-responses shape key economic phenomena, such as global market integration, innovation, and business recoveries.
Impact you hope to have in your field and the world
My life-long mission is to create new possibilities to be present in others’ lives—to touch, move, and inspire them to maximize the potential within themselves, their organizations and the world.
Interests and hobbies
I enjoy running, playing bullet chess online, watching movies, learning languages, being with family and friends, and of course, eating. My favorite quote is, "Dinner is ready!"
