Diana and I have a lot in common. For one, our chosen fields of expertise were not always welcoming to women in the beginning. For Diana it was aviation. For me it was private equity and asset management.
When Diana began her illustrious career over twenty years ago, she was the first female representative selling aircraft in China. "To say it was challenging was an understatement," said Diana. "Being the first woman to sell private jets in Asia has been very rewarding and demanding as a market that fluctuates with the fortunes of the day."
As Diana and I got to know each other better she would discuss how proud she has been to be the founder and chairman of Dragon General Aviation Group (DGA). L'Voyage is one of her four companies serving discerning corporate travelers and jet-setters like us.
Diana and I are both strong believers in supporting women. Most of my staff are women and many of Diana's workforce at DGA are female as well. That is in great part to her impact on the industry, her knowledge regarding what it takes to be exceptional, and DGA's inclusive training programs. As part of her mission, Diana has been mentoring lady entrepreneurs at FEW (Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide) for over 6 years. This has become so important to her that last year she became a shareholder and investor in FEW in order to accelerate the organization into a digital networking and sharing platform.
It is always a pleasure to meet with Diana although her schedule has her jetting off on a regular basis. In addition to running four businesses, she serves on many boards and was one of 22 women founders selected for the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women Asia Pacific Class of 2020.
When she does land in Hong Kong, we try to celebrate a little knowing there is always more to be done. As Diana continues to be a pathfinder in aviation, her clients benefit at the highest level.
The same can be said about Pacific Hawk. Our focus on being engaged in world trends, managing funds and protecting our client's legacies, continues to ensure Pacific Hawk's clients achieve their goals.
