2 EpisoderTop Small Town Lawyer Giving It All Up
Small town girl -> Oxford Law -> Quitting law(!) -> Beauty & Fashion -> eCommerce Super App!
Welcome to Audacity, where we uncover the stories of those that have made audacious moves in their careers and ask them the why's & the how's.
In our 2nd episode, we had the incredible Yizhen Fung, a small-town lawyer turned strategic partnerships head for AirAsia Super App. From navigating the beauty industry in Hong Kong to playing a pivotal role in AirAsia's digital transformation during the pandemic, Yizhen's journey embodies the Malaysian dream of social mobility.
Starting from her small town of Kota Bharu, it wasn't until she met a random girl online that she 1st heard of the University of Oxford, which eventually set her path towards a scholarship to pursue Law there.
After returning home to Malaysia to serve her nation, she longed for more impact, and a faster pace of life. But something you need to be careful what you wish for, and how would she break this news of giving it all up to her traditional Asian parents?!
Her resilience, adaptability, and commitment to giving back serve as an inspirational testament to carving your own path.
Stay tuned for more bold, trailblazing tales on Audacity.
