I had the pleasure of interviewing Rachel Daydou, Partner at EY Fabernovel, in a recent episode of Between Meetings. We discussed various topics, including her childhood dream of visiting the Shaolin Temple, the valuable lessons she learned while running two startups, her dedication and hard work at Fabernovel, as well as the challenges that international companies encounter in China and much more.
Takeaways:
- What kept me in China was the feeling that I was in the center of everything fascinating happening in the world.
- What made me start to feel like an entrepreneur was connecting with other entrepreneurs through Startup Grind.
- Being an entrepreneur totally changed my life.
- Get into action: 85% action, 15% reflection.
- Get it done because you learn as you are doing.
- Take care of yourself: you are the first asset of the company.
- One of the pain points multinationals are trying to solve is localizing appropriately for the Chinese market.
- Another challenge for multinationals is keeping up with China's speed.
- China teams have more autonomy than before.
- There is less trust between China teams and global teams.
- Multinationals are trying to derisk the non-China business connected to China.
