Bio
Janet Wang
During my career, I’ve been fortunate to come across several great leaders who helped me to become a better HR professional. Lydia is definitely one of those genuine leaders who brings her whole self to work. Her integrity , sympathy and compassion, strong business acumen and coaching skills have made her a trustful leader. I’ve seen Lydia worked through complex situations with her strategic mindset and conflict management skills. I’ve learnt from Lydia through day-to-day work in talent development initiatives to support the organization being prepared for the next move. I believe Lydia would be a great asset in any organization as the most trustful partner who truly supports business growth.

I have worked with Lydia in Shanghai China for more than 7 years, when Ingevity has been spin off. Lydia was the first HR director in Ingevity and took an extremely spin-off workload , reorganized the whole Ingevity team and rebuilt the working culture in Ingevity APAC.

Lydia has made significant impact in all of roles and her enthusiasm is always inspiring and encourage. Lydia is an absolutely a rare global background HR in the world.
