Lately I've been investing through Waypoint, my family's office, in hospitality, food and consumer brands across Greater China and Southeast Asia. Before that, I built brands in Shanghai for a decade and took a regional hospitality group into Cambodia.

I grew up in Taichung around my family's metal business, studied marketing at Queen Mary in London, and have lived in Shanghai and Phnom Penh. I'm home in Taichung today, though rarely for long.

My favourite colour is celadon. I collect old, unpolished silver, and I'd rather a restaurant with twelve seats than one with a hundred and twenty.
