About Jojo:
Jojo's experience is almost entirely entrepreneurial, covering a broad range of industries from education to real estate to financial services. Her first venture was a startup in the training space in China, providing language and soft skill training to BMW China and the British Embassy; Jojo grew her business from one location to three before it was sold.
Jojo managed a large corporate entertainment company with over 400 staff in central Beijing before she moved to the UK; she also managed a family fund focused on real estate investment and a Chinese tea business. In London, she has assisted many companies in growing their businesses through investment from Chinese sources, particularly in the fintech/blockchain industries.
Jojo brings a deep breadth of business experience to her coaching; her unique global background means she is well-situated to assist developing and established leaders from a broad range of industries and diverse cultural backgrounds. Her style is honest and challenging whilst being warm and supportive.

When you are in the thick of it, it can be frustrating, slow, challenging, and difficult, but when it all comes together, it is beautiful. I help you, and if appropriate, your team, to organise and assemble this complex puzzle, supporting you along the way through successes and failures."
