Background

About Christina van

For Christina, there are no better words to describe success than "Hard Work","Dedication", and "Passion". And it is with great gratitude to her parents who taught her these values: two Vietnamese immigrants who fled the communists of the Viet Nam War on a packed little boat. After multiple attacks from pillaging pirates, to a year in a Thai immigration camp, they arrived bare-handed in a land that spoke to them with a foreign tongue. Their sacrifices were made so that their children would grow up in an environment of opportunity and freedom. These sacrifices have not been taken for granted. Christina has always had passion and drive, striving to put in more than expected—with a positive attitude. Christina’s entrepreneurial spirit has fueled her background in design, marketing, and communications, with practices anchored on inclusion, diversity, and equity. Her decade-plus tenure as marketing agency Partner and Director of Digital Communications has honed Christina’s tools for creating effective processes, data analytics, and results-driven metrics used to evaluate incoming deal flow and go-to-market strategies. Overcoming the first learning curve of business and having a successful exit in 2021, Christina continues to learn and takes a special interest in investing and financial planning. Her experienced resilience in facing the challenges of both startups and established businesses during market fluctuation has been crucial in helping other high-potential entrepreneurs find and achieve their paths to success. She now acts as an independent marketing consultant and supports multiple IR initiatives for companies she is involved with.
