SIYAO LISA LI
HI, I'M SIYAO (LISA) LI
I'm an intellectually curious cat herder with a magnetic attraction to dumpster fires.
Translation: I’m a driven problem-solver who thrives on tackling challenges with a team by my side. I believe the best progress comes from continuous learning, collaboration, and pushing through adversity together. With an entrepreneurial mindset, I approach each new project as an opportunity for growth for myself and those around me — and I’m always ready for the next adventure.
​
I'm passionate about human health and wellbeing. Ecosystems I am interested in include Healthcare, Biotech, Sustainability, and Education.
