The more research I do on Lisa Zhang, the more impressive I find her CV is.
Check these details from The Economist's Innovation Summit in Hong Kong Oct 2015.
Lisa was one of four judges for the entrepreneurship showcasing segment of the Summit.
The program refers to the "judging panel of market leading investors. Experts in making multi-billion dollar decisions that drive industries ,markets and economies, these judges will decide which ideas they would invest in and which they think will flop. We'll hear from our judges on:
- which new products and ideas will disrupt businesses and markets in the coming years?
- which industries have the most to gain?
- how quickly can these future trends be commercialized?
The other judges ARE impressive - including GE's Vice-Chairman (i.e. number 2 in GE globally) John Rice.

Who better to have on the Board - not just because of her deep experience with venture capital for tech start-ups but also because of her networking with the likes of John Rice! And, of course, prior to her appointment as MD of Intel Capital China, she was Chief of Staff to founder and head of Intel Capital, Arvind Sodhani. She would appear to have excellent 'access' at the highest levels in the 'right' companies.
Clearly, in joining Xped, she believes ADRC is worth 'investing in'.
