The US Diversity committee is pleased to announce the next Boundary Breakers event. This DFF speaker series is aimed at fostering open conversations with senior leaders to give voice to unique issues and perspectives diverse professionals face, and how we can challenge ourselves to think outside established biases and stereotypes.
Committee of 100 is a non-profit, non-partisan membership organization of prominent Chinese Americans in business, government, academia, science, technology, and the arts. The organization was formed following the aftermath of Tiananmen Square. Renowned architect I.M. Pei assembled an exceptional group of Chinese Americans to address the critical issues impacting the Chinese community in America and help foster positive relations between the U.S. and Greater China. This group of luminaries — Yo-Yo Ma, I.M. Pei, Henry S. Tang, Oscar Tang, Chien Shiung Wu, and Shirley Young — became the first generation of Committee of 100 members. The name “Committee of 100” derives from a blend of inspirations of ‘We the People’ and an ancient Chinese idiom, 老百姓 (lao bai xing) to reflect both American values and Chinese culture.
Henry Tang, speaker, is a seasoned 30-year investment banking veteran of Wall Street having participated in and observed the global transformation of the capital markets. As a securities management executive, he has been engaged in global investment and banking activities in Europe, Asia and the U.S. for several of the largest Wall Street investment banks. Henry Tang’s business experiences have been enhanced by a broad participation in public and community activities. He has been active in many efforts to help bridge cultural and economic understanding between the China region and the U.S. and between Chinese Americans in the U.S. Henry helped found the Committee of 100, to help create a better understanding of American and Chinese cultural and economic events. Vicky Du, moderator, is the Global Head of Fund Finance at Standard Chartered, managing a globally integrated team responsible for providing financial sponsors with fund level financing solutions. Vicky has extensive knowledge and experience in Leveraged Finance, Structured Finance, and Capital Markets.
