My goal is to align entrepreneurial thinking with the future challenges of digitalization, agility, automation, sustainability, and environmental protection. I plan to utilise my e-business expertise and practices to levelling up WCD movement into the digital space in the areas of digital media, communication, online education, and e-social services. My vision is to establish a global social community platform using my experience as a lecturer in information technology and project management at various business schools as well as my education in media business and a Master of Business Administration.
