A better room for women who are building.

Born in Beijing, Teresa grew up across China, the US, and Europe. With a background in journalism, sociology, and business, she brings a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary lens to storytelling. She began her journey as a documentary filmmaker in 2019, capturing real lives and untold perspectives, a sensibility that continues to shape her work in business today.

She founded FoundHers to create space for more honest conversations and to bring together a community of women in entrepreneurship, where voices and representation remain limited. Alongside this, Teresa is building early-stage ventures in human connection and investment data. She enjoys traveling and curating spaces for ambitious, like-minded women to connect and grow.

Born in Switzerland and raised across borders, Christine studied business engineering in Belgium before completing her Master's at London Business School. By day, she leads HycoJet, a Swiss water technology venture making sustainable living feel effortless, a path she chose over global big tech because she believed the most meaningful problems were still waiting to be solved. Away from work, she finds her centre at the pottery wheel, in the mountains on a long hike, or exploring a new trail, never more herself than with mud on her boots or clay on her hands.

She has always been captivated by the stories of women who build, quietly, boldly, and often without enough of an audience. So when Teresa offered her the French chair at FoundHers, she didn't think twice. For Christine, it's less about having a seat at the table and more about making sure the table keeps getting bigger.
