From Startup to Scale: Lessons in Global Entrepreneurship & Adaptation

Carol Chen is a serial entrepreneur who has built five companies across five countries. From launching a multi-million-dollar factory in China to dressing the stars of “Crazy Rich Asians”, she has been featured in Forbes, Vogue, CNBC, and named one of Singapore’s “Most Stylish Women” by Harper’s Bazaar.

She was also Singapore’s Designer of the Year, and her latest venture, JING Essentials, creates products that blend fashion and wellness starting with stylish earplugs to encourage hearing protection at loud events.

Join us for an exclusive closed-door discussion on Carol’s entrepreneurial journey, including:
• Building Global Businesses – How she scaled a fashion brand in LA to 300 retailers, created an MMA brand in Hong Kong, and used her pageant dresses to create Singapore’s first dress rental company.
• Scrappy Marketing That Works – How she used her birthday to create demand for a new business and turned an opportunity at F1 into an award-winning marketing activation.
• Pivoting & Adapting for Success – How she made $1M from her living room during lockdown by cutting up her dresses and launching a luxury face mask brand worn by Lady Gaga and Jessica Alba.

We’ll have time for Q&A, so bring your questions!
