Manager
Techstars
About
13 years in Greater China changed how I think about innovation.
Four years at Mach49 leading ventures for Fortune 500 companies. Three years as Regional Manager Greater China for Techstars, running startup programs and delivering corporate innovation with partners like Infiniti, MTR, and UNDP. The methodologies matter, but Asia taught me something else: speed over perfection, adaptation over process.
I've been a founder too. I co-founded and exited Strategy Quest, and today I build products through The Motion Bridge. I know what it feels like when it's your own money on the line.
I'm hands-on. I use modern tools to run experiments and get real answers in weeks.
