A different
kind of facilitator
Yuan Zhang has lived between worlds. Astrophysics in Beijing, design across three continents, and cultural entrepreneurship in Boston.
She spent eight years on international projects including Plan Capital Abu Dhabi 2040 and Changi Airport. She knows what corporate life actually feels like from the inside.
Everything she brings to her programs, she lives herself: Traditional wellness, tea practice, and the ongoing study of Eastern philosophy as a daily discipline.
