At the historic No. 2 Wukang Road in Shanghai, Marjorie Yang, the dynamic chair of the Esquel Group, shared her journey of turning challenges into opportunities. With a legacy woven from silk and cotton traditions, Yang’s story is a masterclass in resilience and adaptability—perfect for anyone navigating today’s unpredictable business landscape. ✨
During a candid chat, Yang remarked, "If the US could use its technology and management to achieve more inclusive growth, it wouldn't have the anger that drives the government to look for an outside enemy." Once blacklisted for using Xinjiang cotton, Esquel saw decades-long clients vanish overnight. In true grit, she declared, "When shot by a poisoned arrow, you go and get help," inspiring us all to seek innovative solutions in the face of adversity.
This narrative of transformation—from tradition to triumph—resonates with young professionals and tech-savvy enthusiasts across South and Southeast Asia. It’s a reminder that every setback can spark creativity and propel us towards a brighter, more inclusive future.
