She started work in a market research company before landing a job as sales executive for American Express, working her way up to head of strategic relationships for Asia-Pacific.

In 2000, the mother-of-two started with Rosenbluth International, the third largest global corporate travel agency, as their regional general manager for sales and marketing.

Recently, after taking some time out, Ms Wong joined Zuji.com, an online travel company, of which she is the general manager for Hong Kong.

Zuji was set up roughly three years ago through a joint venture with various Asian airlines and a group called Travelocity.

The Informer asked Ms Wong how she escapes the pressures of work and why she has made Hong Kong her home.
