Across three days of programing attendees learned about the latest trends across public and private markets, heard from leading CIO's and investment managers about their predictions, and fostered strong relationships across AAPI leaders. #assetmanagement #CIOagenda #AAPI
Community and friendships make life more rich, and I'm grateful to have experienced both in full at AAAIM Elevate 2024 in Los Angeles. Our ELI group was fortunate to kick-off the conference with Dave Lu for a fireside chat about his career path and why representation matters. The following day, we heard from leading CIOs on portfolio strategy, macro impacts, and what drives their mission (s/o to Amy Chen, Rex Kim, Scott Chan, CFA, Ellen Hung, CFA, Bryan Fujita, Susan Yun Lee). A huge thanks to the team Jim Park, Kit Canlas, Alyssa Lee, and Andrew Bae, our coaches Matt Spielman, PJ Kim, Sandy Li, and Corbin C. Wong, and the AAAIM Board Members Brenda Chia, Sanjiv Shah, Gordon Chun Ching Liao, Suzanne Wong, David Lam, York Lo, CAIA, CIMA, Deepa Patil, Prashant Mehrotra, Sona Menon, Bill Park, David Sheng, Susan Soh, Sammy Suzuki, Johnny Wu for supporting ELI!

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore, a dynamic program that brought together global leaders, investors, and innovators. The discussions around the future of healthcare, sustainability, and the evolving landscape of Asia's markets were thought-provoking, and I came away with a much stronger understanding of how deeply connected we are across economies. Beyond the Summit, I also had the pleasure of engaging in additional key events across Singapore and Japan: 🌟Participated in the first Milken Asia Healthcare Summit with a focus on breakthrough innovations in longevity and women’s health 🌟Connected with the amazing YLC community, a hub of emerging leaders driving positive change across industries. 🌟Had a wonderful exchange of ideas with Eriko Suzuki and a group of wonderful Japanese angel investors, ideating on ways to improve economic growth for women globally. 🌟And of course, caught some of the excitement of Formula 1, as Singapore came alive with energy during the race weekend! Looking forward to continuing these conversations and building new bridges for collaboration in the near future! #MIGlobal #MilkenAsiaSummit #HealthcareInnovation #VentureCapital #Formula1 #Singapore #Tokyo #YLC
