TEDxTinHau Women

We're still reflecting on our event day, a fantastic culmination of everyone's hard work which enabled us to share ideas that change everything. We'll continue to share more so please stay connected! A big part of what made our event actually happen is our leadership team - these inspiring women normally start the planning very early in the year, even before any committee is formed. Each of them leads a specific area which allows us to develop teams that put in motion our plans. For the second year running we've had incredible support from Frey., a female-owned and Hong Kong founded brand who have provided their beautiful garments to our leadership team, and speakers, to help them feel their best and most confident in the run up to our event, and event day. We are very grateful to the team at Frey; Frederieke van Doorn, Eloise Baring and YULIA T. for being such advocates of TEDxTinHau Women and supporting us again, and to Amanda Leigh Wong for your fantastic styling. 👏 Here's few pictures capturing our journey this year, and feel free to reach out to any of our leadership team below 🙏 Victoria Gilbert - Chair Jen Flowers 杜敏 & Laura Wong - Deputy Chair Maria Blanca - Chief Operations Officer Daniella Lopez - Head of Curation & Licensee Joanne Loney - Head of Partnerships Nicola Oldfield - Head of MarComms Caroline Wuethrich - Head of Creative Elena Collins - Head of Experience #TEDx #TEDxTinHauWomen #leadership #hongkong #women
