What inspired you to start your business?
I have been an experienced CEO and serial entrepreneur for over two decades. My passion is to discover, build, and scale companies that do good deeds for our society, whether it's related to environmental sustainability or governance. Since 2019, I have been dedicated to digital healthcare and mental wellness. My mission is to develop and scale technology solutions to address the mental health crisis in a measurable way.
What challenges have you faced as a woman in business?
As a woman in business, the primary challenge I've faced, even with extensive experience spanning over two decades, is the struggle to access necessary resources, establish warm connections, and foster a supportive business environment that facilitates equal growth and excellence. Women often find themselves needing to put in significantly more effort to access these opportunities, and systemic limitations persist.
How has being a WPO member helped your business?
WPO is an empowering platform for women entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and leverage opportunities for growth and excellence. In a short period, I have had the privilege of accessing tremendous resources and networking with like-minded women entrepreneurs, and together, we have experienced substantial growth.
What lesson have you learned that you can share with other women entrepreneurs?
The lessons that I have learned from over 2 decades of my business journey are different from others. Key Lessons for Female Entrepreneurs: Expertise and knowing your target audience are crucial for success. Neglecting self-care can be a barrier. Avoid self-doubt and inauthenticity, which hinder potential. Treat everyone equally and stay open-hearted. More of my tips are on www.RozHuang.com.
What's your favorite WPO event you've attended? Why?
I had the privilege of attending the 2023 WPO Entrepreneurial Excellence Forum in Las Vegas in May. It was my inaugural annual conference, and it left a profound impact. Meeting and learning from over 800 attendees were truly inspiring. My goal now is to foster collaborations with fellow WPO members.
