Kudos to Wendy Shen, CEO Nygala Group / Flomo & IWEC Board Member for her successes and great profile by WBECNY
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month gives us an opportunity to elevate the stories of women business owners in our network that bring Asian history, culture, and value to our regional economies in New York and DC.
When asked about how her heritage has informed her success, Wendy Shen — President/CEO of gift and accessory merchandise brand, Nygala Corp. — points to a lifelong dedication to continuous education.
“Education is a big, important part of Asian culture,” says Wendy, who arrived in New York in the mid 80s to study business, inspired by generations of business ownership in her family, beginning with her grandfather who made and sold candy in Taiwan.
During her studies, she became interested in the differences between trade and commerce in Asia and North America and why many Asian companies weren’t breaking into the U.S. market, including her own family’s novelty items business, FLOMO.
