Bio
Ramona T.
The best leaders are astute listeners, collaborative thinkers, inspiring and committed visionaries—who acknowledge their weaknesses, and are unafraid to ask for help. Based on these criteria, Lily Meng is exceptional among her entrepreneurial peers. As one of Lily's co-collaborators, I've been assisting in positioning and launching Social Shopper—her transformative shopping platform envisioned to reunite friends, family, and community through online shopping. Her background story as a young, poorly educated immigrant woman who went on to graduate with honors from Penn State only provides a glimmer of what drives Lily. I have no doubt, she is destined to change the world. I'm delighted to be along for the ride.

Lily is an entrepreneur and startup founder who is tuned in and ready to disrupt a market desperately needing new innovations. I am honored to be helping her in any capacity as she is a leader paving the way for women in technology. She is a continuous learner, driven to combine her education and business skills to benefit all. She works hard and smart with a smart balance of tactical planning and strategy. I look forward to seeing Lily continue to progress in her ventures and deliver innovations the market loves.
