What is it that you like about your job?
I think there’s no better incentives for us to learn than to put our money into something. You would naturally motivate yourself to explore new opportunities and evaluate choices objectively. Venture capital investment, in particular, helps us keep up with technologies and breakthrough ideas. It opens a path for us to talk and learn from the brightest minds. The best part is when our capital and support help transform their ideas into reality and make the world a better place.
What do you do outside of work?
I’m a father of two. Guess that answers a lot, but when I manage to have some free time these days, I would play pickleball, watch TV shows, play some games, catch up with friends, and get some extra sleep. I love spending time with my family and my parents. Back in the day, I would go for singing, basketball, table tennis, and serious gaming (e.g., DOTA).
