From Corporate to Fashion Founder: Reinventing Your Career Across Cultures, Expectations, and Change

What happens when the career you built no longer feels like the career you want?Vienne Cheung Brown shares her path from corporate America to fashion founder, and what that transition taught her about risk, reinvention, and starting over. Drawing on career that has crossed art, design, marketing, technology, and entrepreneurship, she'll explore how seemingly unrelated experiences can become unexpected assets when you change direction.Through the lens of her experience as an Asian American woman navigating different cultures, expectations, and professional worlds, Vienne will also examine how adaptability and perspective can become strengths during times of change — while still making space to define success on your own terms. Attendees will leave with a practical way to think about career pivots, the skills they already carry with them, and what it takes to build what comes next.
