I was born in China but left for the UK when I was 8. I returned to China in August 2020 to explore this world. As a sea turtle (slang for a Chinese overseas returnee) with a background in venture capital (Salesforce Ventures, Eight Roads Ventures) and management consulting across the US and Europe. In July 2022, I joined the private company investing team at Baillie Gifford after two years of writing the newsletter. I have a MSc in International Development from LSE with a focus on Chinese governance, and a BA in Economics from the University of Cambridge.
