Why TSM New York City?
I've never been to NYC before, and digital transformation in NYC in big with more companies expanding into NYC. I would like to find out how digital transformation affects the lives of daily people and how companies are innovating and transformation to stay competitive especially how non-tech companies adopt technology. I believe the company visits during TSM would help me learn more about these and potentially, any cool and interesting ideas! I believe exposing myself to other culture's would expand my sight as well - there's always something new to learn from others.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
- Social enterprises! Having worked in social enterprise start-up before, I really enjoyed giving back to others, especially when it helps to improve their lives. However, I know the business model of a social enterprise is more challenging than a for-profit business and many of them do not make enough to give and/or sustain.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
- Honestly, if I could I would definitely start a business to help others. But to do that, I will need to gain experience, resources, and of course, a great business idea.
What keeps you ticking?
My curiosity. I really wanna know where I'll be in the future and how much I have achieved.
