Vivian Sun, a bubbly 42-year-old with hair curling on her shoulders and a twinkle in her eye, confounds the notion that number-crunchers lack empathy with the human side of a business.
She has the effervescence of an entrepreneurial management trainer against a background corporate auditing.
The catalyst for a career switch was an appointment as director of learning and training for PricewaterhouseCoopers while still in her thirties.
Now she has taken the courageous step of establishing her own company to coach top corporate brass in how to run their companies.
It is hard to believe she began as an accountant and rose through the ranks to become an auditor for Fortune 500 companies, multi-national corporations and professional firms in Greater China.
She took accountancy training at Macquarie University in Sydney and even now retains ties to the profession, as counsellor of Certified Public Accountants, Australia.
