Hi — I’m Anya.
I was born in China and raised in Boston, and my global perspective has been shaped by studying at Duke, LSE, and Tsinghua.
At 15, I helped secure Australia’s successful bid for the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Since then, I’ve worked across sports, technology, and investing — advising venture-backed startups on go-to-market strategy, working with world-class sports organizations, and investing with Serena Ventures at the intersection of sports, media, and tech.
I’m currently working in AI Product Operations at Ubiquant, focusing on agentic AI systems and overseas go-to-market strategy.
I’m driven by the belief that pushing boundaries creates meaningful change, and I’m always looking for ways to bring people together and make things happen.
