One of my proudest achievements during my career was leading the development of the Babymaker Ebike, which was launched on Indiegogo in 2020 and became the platform's most successful product of the year. This accomplishment was a testament to our team's dedication and the market's growing interest in innovative e-bike solutions. Additionally, receiving the Golden China Bicycle Design Award in 2024 was an incredible honor that highlighted our commitment to excellence and innovation in the industry.
In addition to my design and development work, I have a strong interest in business development and consulting. I enjoy helping companies navigate the complexities of the e-bike market, develop strategic plans, and optimize their business operations. My consulting services focus on project strategy, product management, and market positioning, providing valuable insights and actionable plans to drive success.
