In an effort to become more comfortable in her own skin, literally, Siqu Mou utilized her joint MBA/MPA degree from Harvard and Stanford to find new solutions to age-old skincare problems. Relying on new technology and her entrepreneurial upbringing she founded HelloAva, the first online smart-skin consultant.
Gil gets a peek into Siqi’s early years where creativity and achievement were modeled first by her parents and later by her first boss at Morgan Stanley. She draws inspiration from both in her own role as a founder and CEO. Gil and Siqi also reminisce about her Israel Trek and its lasting impact on her life.
