From journalism to investment banking, from strategic consultancy to art auction houses, Luyang's life and work experience as a corporate spokesperson and strategic advisor to international companies spans Asia, the United States, and Europe.

Before joining The Baer Faxt, Luyang left corporate life behind for a time to start her own consulting business with clients including Phillips, Hauser & Wirth, and UCCA.
