“The best business outcomes are achieved when teams bring diverse experiences and points of view like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, where no piece is identical. Hang's book is a quintessential roadmap for immigrant women who are amplifying each other’s unique perspective as they rise in leadership.”

Carla Harris
Author of Expect to Win and Vice Chairman and Managing Director at Morgan Stanley

“As Hang reveals the intimate details of her journey from refugee to immigrant to a corporate success, she demands that each of us embrace every aspect of our journey–the pain, the loss, the victories, the successes–and unapologetically applies all of it as the edge that it is in order to excel.”

Minda Harts
Author of The Memo

"A difficult discussion to address at work is how people of color can better support and understand each other's unique edge. Hang’s candor and vulnerability allows each of us to better engage in critical conversations and build authentic relationships in the workplace."

Rami Rahim
CEO of Juniper Networks

"Innovation comes at the cross-section of diverse ideas, which is why it’s so important to seek diversity in top talent with different skills, backgrounds, and life experiences. Hang’s powerful story provides a guide to harnessing your unique edge to achieve your leadership potential."

Eric Yuan
Founder and CEO of Zoom Communications

"There is no innovation if you are not open-minded. Embrace Your Edge highlights the importance of access and collaboration for all in the 21st century, in business and in our communities."
