Many of us grew up and built our careers in the corporate world with countless ups and downs on our way.
My guest today from Hong Kong is definitely one of us - Andy Chiu.
Andy experienced the culture of L'Oréal and Mercedes Benz before he learned that wearing a suit is not the definition of being successful. He followed his true passion and landed in the sports and lifestyle industry, worked at Adidas and Puma and Adidas again leading Originals in Japan. Andy is a true expert in building cultural relevance for brands, became an entrepreneur, started a business and is today consulting brands and corporations. I consider myself lucky to know him and to have the chance to chat in my podcast. 🎙️
Some things I have learned in our session:
➡️ Wearing a suit is not equal being successful. 👔
➡️ Find and follow your passion as this is the base for success in your profession.
➡️ Sometimes all the answers to challenges in a corporation are already there, but it needs an external person to come and speak them out loud.
➡️ Substance in product and communication will always win on a long term.
