Introducing… Edith Yeung

I’d like to introduce you to my friend, Edith Yeung.  While her story is still unfolding, it is an inspiration to us all.  Here’s a brief snapshot of her bio.

IMMIGRANT.  Born and raised in Hong Kong, Edith moved to Ossian, Indiana as an exchange student when she was 16.  Moving from a concrete jungle like Hong Kong to the land of the Hoosiers was not easy.  Despite the language barrier and culture shock, Edith studied at Purdue University and graduated in 3-½ years with a degree in Industrial Management with a focus on information systems and marketing. 

EX-CORPORATE.  Edith spent 9 years in the software & consulting industry and built a successful six figure career working with companies including AT&T Wireless, Cisco Systems, Ariba, American Management Systems, Siebel, Oracle Symantec, Telstra Australia, Matav Hungary Telecom, Autodesk, Taiwan Semi-conductor just to name a few.  Her leadership and involvement was instrumental to many multi-million dollar projects.  In March 2007, Edith retired from the corporate world and now spends 100% of her time devoting to Edith Yeung.com and her non-profit ventures.
