Some people seem to be born with the aura of a leader, destined to carve out remarkable achievements in the tide of the times.
He Yi, the big sister, is the woman I admire the most in the Web3 field, without exception. Recently, she was selected as a global outstanding leader by Fortune, and the in-depth interview she accepted revealed several previously undisclosed details. Here are a few points to share with everyone:
1. He Yi was born in a remote village in Sichuan, where her family had to walk to the well to fetch water, sometimes relying on a kerosene lamp for light. She lost her father at the age of 9 and spent years selling drinks at the supermarket entrance at 16. The impoverished environment forged her inherent resilience and allowed her to empathize with the real situations of millions of ordinary Binance users.
2. She started learning English at the age of 35 and was able to conduct long interviews in fluent English in just four years, a testament to her self-discipline and learning ability, which is truly impressive.
3. Today, she holds about 10% of Binance's shares, with a net worth of billions of dollars, and is referred to as one of the 'most powerful women in the crypto field' by the outside world.
4. She is known for her top-notch marketing and customer service skills, establishing a rule: all new employees must first train in customer service for several weeks; she often personally handles tricky issues like user fund mis-transfers, always humbly calling herself the 'Chief Customer Service Officer of Binance.'
5. She met and fell in love with Zhao Changpeng while working together at OKCoin in 2014. Although they are not married, they have raised children together and have consistently complemented each other in their careers, working hand-in-hand to grow Binance from its inception to its current stature.
6. During Zhao Changpeng's resignation and imprisonment, there were rumors that the U.S. had requested her to step down, but she firmly remained in her position, maintaining core decision-making power, and subsequently took a more public role in leading the company's operations.
7. Despite facing heavy regulatory and legal pressures, Binance still holds the largest share of 39% in global centralized exchange trading volume.
I saw a comment: 'Even when she was just starting out, the big sister carried an extraordinary calmness and confidence beyond her years.' I wholeheartedly agree. Some people are perhaps truly born with the vision of a leader, able to stand firm in the waves and ultimately seize the opportunities gifted by the times. Cheers to the big sister!
