邵燕寧 Elaine Shiu

First and foremost, I am deeply honored and immensely grateful to be a recipient of the Professional Elite Ladies award. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the organizers, the Junior Chamber International (JCI), for this prestigious recognition. Your unwavering commitment to empowering women and fostering leadership in our community is truly commendable.

I also wish to express my deepest appreciation to my nominee, James Tsui MH. His belief in my work and potential has been a constant source of encouragement. James, your support has been instrumental in my journey, and I am profoundly grateful for your unwavering faith in me.

As I reflect on this moment, I am reminded of the countless women who have inspired me along the way. Women who have dared to dream, who have faced challenges with resilience, and who have transformed obstacles into opportunities. It is their courage and determination that have paved the way for leaders like us to emerge and thrive.

In my own journey, from founding a jewelry brand that utilizes 3D printing technology to revolutionizing the industry, to launching companies in pet technology and smart tourism, my mission has always been to integrate technology and innovation into traditional industries. I firmly believe in the power of digital transformation and its potential to create new avenues for growth and development.

As a woman leader, I understand the unique challenges we face. Yet, it is in overcoming these challenges that we find our true strength. To all the women here today, and to those who aspire to lead, I say this: Do not be afraid to dream big. Pursue your passions with relentless determination, and never let doubt deter you from achieving your goals.

Our world needs more women leaders, more voices that advocate for change, and more pioneers willing to break barriers. Together, we can create a future where gender is not a limitation but a source of strength and diversity.

Thank you once again to JCI, James Tsui MH, and to all those who have supported and believed in me. This award is not just a recognition of my efforts, but a testament to the collective strength and potential of women everywhere. Let us continue to inspire, lead, and transform the world for the better.
