"DR's Secret" with Monica Woo

My guest today is Monica Woo. Monica  grew up in the United States. She attended Yale University, where she majored in Economics, and briefly dabbled in investment banking after leaving college. A few years later, Monica decided to attend Columbia Business School and switch fields into marketing. 

 Thus, began her career in luxury goods and beauty marketing. Monica worked in marketing and strategy for brands such as Christian Dior, Lancôme, and Target in the US and then for Chanel following her move to Hong Kong 15 years ago with her family. Monica goes into detail in the podcast.

 In order to have more flexibility in her life to spend time with her children Monica left the corporate world around 10 years ago and started her own online fashion business. Around three years ago, she stumbled upon a Singaporean skincare brand called DR’s Secrets and she has now become very involved in the brand as a skin consultant and a team leader. Monica is passionate about helping her clients, her friends and her team members to realise their full potential. Monica goes into detail in the podcast.
