Gi Chao, Ph.D. hc

| Doctor of Business Administration | Hello, I'm Gi. Thank you for visiting. My grandmother studied law, at a time when women of her parents' generation still had bound feet. Her understated elegance informs my appreciation of both art and life. When there is risk, there is also opportunity. My grandfather built his shipping empire at a time when wars wreaked havoc on people's lives. And for forty years, learning to understand trends and mapping out the factors that influence change has been my obsession. Whether it is aircraft, buildings, cities, corporations, boats, maritime routes, a fountain pen or meme coins — hype has a place, but so does fiscal discipline.
