After attending a C.E.O. Women event in 2007, Alex decided to volunteer with C.E.O. Women because he was attracted to "the focus on empowering those who most often hold the least amount of power - minority women." A young immigrant himself (he moved to S.F. from Hong Kong at the age of three), Alex turns to his parents for inspiration. He explains, "my mother, who rose from executive assistant to managing her own P&L as a sales manager, was my role model."  Recognizing that the U.S. has been built on the backs of immigrants, Alex comments that, "as a successful immigrant, [Alex] felt the responsibility to help other newcomers."

“The C.E.O. Women team definitely keeps me involved through the appreciation they show.  They implement the suggestions I give them and take my feedback seriously.  It's also a chill office to work in and I want to eventually work in this field so it's a great experience for me. “
