"I grew up in Anhui Province, China, and earned my bachelor's degree in finance and economics. I joined EyeBuyDirect in 2007, starting in an entry-level role in the finance department. After eight years of working full time, I did my master's in Shanghai. I was drawn to EyeBuyDirect's mission and digital-first model, and I saw a unique opportunity to grow with a brand. Over time, I assumed additional responsibilities in operations, product development, marketing, and general management, and developed leadership skills through hands-on experience."
"Two years ago, my husband, our two children, and I moved to New York for my current role. It wasn't a total leap into the unknown: we'd traveled frequently to the US before, so the transition felt natural. I oversee EyeBuyDirect's business across the US, UK, and beyond, managing close to 500 employees worldwide. As a female CEO, people often ask about balancing career and family. For me, it's not about putting work over family or family over work. They make each other stronger."
