Trusted Second Mind for East-West Decisions

Bessie Lee is a global business leader, board director, investor, and podcaster who works as a Trusted Second Mind for East–West Decisions. With over 35 years of experience rooted in Greater China and the Asia–Pacific region, she supports senior leaders and boards navigating strategic decisions shaped by geopolitical tension, regulatory divergence, and incompatible operating systems.

Her perspective is grounded in first-hand experience across multiple economic cycles, multinational organisations, and China-facing markets. She is often sought for her ability to interpret power dynamics, surface hidden constraints, and challenge assumptions before decisions become irreversible.

Now based in the UK, she brings a long-view, cross-regional lens to governance, technology, and geopolitical change.
