Leadership
Jessica Pan
I translate strategic intent into partnerships between global organizations and China’s tech leaders. For seven years, I have been embedded in China’s innovation hubs — from Shenzhen’s hardware ecosystem to Beijing’s AI clusters. I don’t just make introductions. I vet, negotiate, and ensure deals deliver value in your market.
Mia Niu
With a background in finance, I have spent years at the intersection of capital, technology, and cross-border partnership. I have led over 500 senior executives from global financial institutions, multinational corporations, and investment funds into China’s leading tech companies — turning boardroom curiosity into actionable strategy.
