CO-FOUNDERS
CHRISTINE FELLOWES
"I forged a career as a corporate leader while raising three children at a time where there was little acknowledgement in the workplace of the challenges of family and societal demands on women. In co-founding NINEby9 I aspire to a vision that my daughters and son enter a workforce which offers equal opportunity, regardless of gender."
APRIL SWANDO HU
"As a reset year sparked by life experiences and world events, I co-founded NINEby9 in 2020 to cascade strategic action for gender parity for sweet-spot working women in Asia. I believe that women in management is good business and Eastern and Western balance is even better business."
