I build firms and help others scale theirs.

My career began on the front lines of China’s digital revolution. I quickly evolved from a fresh graduate into a pioneering intrapreneur with a track record of building from zero. At cutting-edge agencies like Kantar Media CIC, Razorfish, and Waggener Edstrom, my roles consistently centered on creating value from scratch—developing industry-first methodologies, building new ventures, and scaling new business divisions.

This path as an intrapreneur and builder led me to co-found arkr GROUP, which I led it through acquisition by LEO GROUP (002131, Shenzhen Stock Exchange) in 2014 – one of the top digital agency M&A deals in Asia Pacific that year.

In response to the complexities of the post-pandemic economy and a rapidly evolving advertising industry, I partnered with a fellow industry veteran to found Opera & Partners. During my tenure from 2022 to 2024, my focus was to guide founders in China’s digital media and marcomm sector through immense industry challenges using our hands-on, “consulting-for-equity” model—providing intensive coaching and consulting services in exchange for a minority stake.

Back in 2020, I began personally backing young entrepreneurs in China’s B2B professional services industry. Now in 2025, responding to the strategic imperative for corporate sustainability, I have evolved this initiative into Society Labs & Company, an early-stage investment firm and platform I reimagined to accelerate the transition to regenerative business. Through SLC, I actively empower portfolio companies by embedding Artificial Intelligence into their operations, with a focus on China and a reach across the Asia-Pacific.

These years of building, scaling, and investing have evolved my approach beyond traditional growth metrics to focus on creating enduring value – enterprises that generate strong returns while building resilient operations, empowering teams, and contributing positively to their communities and environment.
