Background

About Mabel Wong

I’m an operations leader with roots in science and a passion for driving innovation that creates a healthier, more sustainable future. With a PhD in Chemical Engineering and years of hands-on research experience, I’ve transitioned from the lab bench to leading operations, project management, and strategic planning in high-impact environments. My background gives me a unique edge: I understand the technical complexities of R&D while building the operational structures that allow it to flourish. Key strengths:* Translating complex ideas into clear operational plans * Securing and managing $1M+ in public funding * Developing HR frameworks that support team growth and performance * Streamlining processes to boost efficiency and reduce costs * Leading cross-functional initiatives with transparency and collaboration Whether I’m improving onboarding systems, coordinating multi-stakeholder projects, or building a communications strategy, my goal is the same: to empower teams and ideas that move us forward. I care deeply about impact—on people, on the planet, and on the future we're shaping together. Let’s connect if you’re working toward the same.
