Emily Chang

March marks the beginning of Women’s History Month, a time to recognize the women who are shaping industries, building communities, and redefining what leadership looks like today. In celebration of the month, we’re sharing one of our top Fan Favorite guests from 2025, Emily Chang, a global business leader whose career spans some of the world’s most recognizable brands and industries. Emily currently serves as Chief Commercial Officer of CHAGEE, a leading international tea beverage company guided by the vision of connecting people through a great cup of tea. Founded in 2017 in Yunnan, China—the historic home of tea—CHAGEE has rapidly expanded to more than 6,000 stores globally, redefining the modern tea experience. Emily is also the best-selling author of The Spare Room, a powerful book about purpose, leadership, and the impact we can make when we choose to open our lives to others. Jayzen starts the show with a deep dive into Step 1 of the Lead With Your Brand! System: Define Your Audience. Many people think their personal brand is about what they do . In reality, the strongest brands are built around who they serve and the value they create . One of the biggest mistakes professionals make is trying to appeal to everyone. When you try to be everything to everyone, you become generic—something to everyone, but meaningful to no one. The most successful brands take the opposite approach: they identify their core audience and super serve their super fans . Jayzen shares how networks like Bravo and Telemundo grew by focusing on the audiences that mattered most and delivering exactly what those viewers wanted. The same principle applies to your career. Understanding your audience helps you show up with intention—and deliver the greatest value where it matters most. Because your brand isn’t about promoting yourself—it’s about helping others succeed . Key Takeaways: Don’t try to serve everyone. Focus on the audience you serve best. Look beyond titles. Understand motivations, needs, and values. Identify your super fans. These are the people who champion your work. Deliver value intentionally. Tailor how you show up to serve them best. Jayzen then welcomes Emily Chang to the show. Emily shares her incredible career journey that has spanned senior leadership roles at P&G, the first executive for Apple in China overseeing retail marketing, CMO of Starbucks China and more.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Emily Chang. Emily’s financial adventures began in her early 20s in the most unexpected way. One frigid night, Emily found a young girl huddled by the roadside, clearly beaten and wearing nothing but a windbreaker. She took the girl to a diner, offered her a meal, and then invited her to stay in her spare room for the night. That one night turned into a week, then months, until Emily could help her find stability. Emily’s family worried the girl might steal or harm her, but Emily chose to see the potential for good. She helped not just that one girl but went on to assist 17 individuals over the next 23 years, transforming lives one by one. Emily is a global commercial leader with 24 years of experience spanning QSR, Retail, Hospitality, Creative, Tech, and FMCG industries.

She led the commercial teams that brought O2O experiences to life: Shanghai Roastery Augmented Reality, Starbucks Delivery, and Digital Gifting. Prior to Starbucks, Emily served as Chief Commercial Officer for InterContinental Hotels Group, Greater China where she led transformation of brand experience, loyalty offering, data and BI, and OTA strategy/implementation to turn around share and become the #1 hotel brand in China. As the first executive in China for Apple Retail, she oversaw the APAC region, expanded the flagship footprint, and developed the Apple Asia retail operating model. Emily began her career at P&G, where she worked across all three business units, from upstream innovation to retail and digital marketing at Walmart. Emily believes passionately in living with intention and leading with authenticity. She’s a servant leader who gives back by teaching and sharing with next gen leaders; she has delivered four TEDx talks and spoken at other industry-leading events like Fortune Most Powerful Women.

Our guest today is Emily Chang, CEO of Wunderman Thompson N.A. West. Emily and I both began our careers at Procter and Gamble, and we met in a bible study led by our friend and colleague, Vivienne Bechtold. Years later, Emily’s career has been a meteoric ride up corporate ladders with posts as CEO for McCann Worldgroup in China, CMO of Starbucks China, Chief Commercial Officer at InterContinental Hotels Group, Greater China, and Head of Retail Marketing at Apple for APAC. She is the best-selling author of The Spare Room. Emily has an MBA in Competitive Strategy and Finance; she’s delivered 5 TEDx talks, and she sits on the board of SOS Children’s Villages. Today, Emily shares some incredible insights as well as some deeply traumatic experiences and how the Lord has met her in them. I don’t want to shy away from talking about these things. But I do want to offer a trigger warning that we will touch on rape in the workplace, and how God brought healing for Emily in an unexpected way. I hope that this episode brings hope to our listeners with similar experiences, hope that God is present with us, in the darkest moments of our lives and that He is able, and determined to bring healing and restoration. What is a mistake you’ve made lately? How can you stop ruminating, but make time to reflect, receive God’s forgiveness, and move forward? If you have faced sexual harassment, abuse, or rape, I am so sorry. What happened to you is wrong, and it's not your fault. If you need support, please call 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) and talk to someone who is trained to help individuals deal with sexual assault. As Emily said, her choice to stay in her role and wait to say something is not for everyone. I pray that the Lord meets you deeply as you process and heal from this trauma.

[Epub] [Read] Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley by Emily Chang Read Online Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley by Emily Chang is a great book to read and that's why I recommend reading or downloading ebook Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley for free in any format with visit the link button below. **Read Book Here ==> https://wartakinclunganeras.blogspot.com/36288143-brotopia **Download Book Here ==> https://wartakinclunganeras.blogspot.com/36288143-brotopia Book Synopsis : For women in tech, Silicon Valley is not a fantasyland where millions of dollars grow on trees. It's a "Brotopia," where men hold all the cards and make all the rules. Vastly outnumbered, women face toxic workplaces rife with discrimination and sexual harassment, where investors take meetings in hot tubs and network at sex parties. In this powerful exposé, Bloomberg TV journalist Emily Chang reveals how Silicon Valley got so sexist despite its utopian ideals, why bro culture endures despite decades of companies claiming the moral high ground (Don't Be Evil! Connect the World!)--and how women are finally starting to speak out and fight back. Drawing on her deep network of Silicon Valley insiders, Chang opens the boardroom doors of male-dominated venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins, the subject of Ellen Pao's high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit, and Sequoia, where a partner once famously said they "won't lower their standards" just to hire women. Interviews with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, and former Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer--who got their start at Google, where just one in five engineers is a woman--reveal just how hard it is to crack the Silicon Ceiling. And Chang shows how women such as former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, entrepreneur Niniane Wang, and game developer Brianna Wu, have risked their careers and sometimes their lives to pave a way for other women. Silicon Valley's aggressive, misogynistic, work-at-all costs culture has shut women out of the greatest wealth creation in the history of the world. It's time to break up the boys' club. Emily Chang shows us how to fix this toxic culture--to bring down Brotopia, once and for all.
