Li-Ming's diligence and perseverance were much appreciated her creative use of social media to engage authors was groundbreaking. She is one of the clearest thinkers I've met and always applied herself very intelligently.

This role requires product and lifecycle management; collaborating with internal and external stakeholders; financial forecasting; market and customer intelligence; and strategic planning. All of which she excelled at. The Higher Education and publishing landscape is going through transition and disruption, and Li-Ming ably drove this transition for MHE Asia in her portfolio.

Change is never easy, but Li-Ming both kept pace with the change, but also helped to influence and drive it in others.
