About Me

I am a strategic and results-oriented professional with 4 years of experience in internal operations and auditing. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven track record of driving cross-functional alignment and managing complex stakeholder relationships to streamline organizational workflows. My roles at Google and EY have helped me develop strong analytical and interpersonal skills, excelling at bridging communication gaps between diverse business units to achieve shared strategic objectives.

As a native Chinese speaker fluent in English, I have cultivated proven cultural adaptability and a global mindset through my two years of Master’s studies in France, a six-month internship in Switzerland, and practical experience at Google working effectively with colleagues from a wide array of regions. Following my tenure at Google, I spent three months solo-traveling across the U.S. and Mexico to broaden my global perspective.

At Google, I led and facilitated sales monthly forecast calls, collaborating with sales directors, managers, and representatives across multiple regions and industries. I created a local sales onboarding program for mainland China, which expanded to other Greater China regions, enhancing training on Google Cloud policies and forecasting methodologies. I optimized sales strategy by conducting detailed data analysis using SQL and supported sales reorganization efforts to improve process efficiency and territory management.

During my time at Ernst & Young, I conducted audits for clients across retail, automotive manufacturing, and banking sectors, ensuring compliance with IFRS and Chinese Accounting Standards. I evaluated internal control systems and financial operations, identifying areas for improvement and documenting audit findings comprehensively.

Previously, as an Investment Analyst at Puhua Capital, I authored successful investment proposals and oversaw significant international e-commerce investment cases. I assessed the viability of over 170 startup companies through direct engagement with founders and C-level leaders, utilizing market research and detailed interview protocols to inform investment decisions.

My diverse experience across sales operations, auditing, and investment analysis, combined with my global exposure and strong communication skills, positions me well to contribute effectively in dynamic and cross-functional environments. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights and collaborative leadership to drive business growth and operational excellence.
