Her prior agency roles have seen her build up competent teams starting from zero and achieving rapid revenue growth, establishing best-in-class healthcare solutions in China.
She has also worked with many of the top life sciences companies. Wang has a keen personal interest in public health, believing that effective and empathetic communications represent a major opportunity to improve health outcomes for everyone.

Importantly, Wang’s track record of working with international health brands will be of significant importance to clients in China.”
“Edelman’s internationally connected business and communications consulting teams will be a key differentiator in Edelman’s approach to serving clients in the health sector. Wang completes our efforts to have senior leaders in every major market across Asia Pacific.We believe she will continue to bring her professional strengths into full play in the future and strive to enhance Edelman's integrated communication capabilities in the healthcare field, expanding business possibilities,” said Collie.
Wang said: "The healthcare industry is currently undergoing a period of great change, as we face challenges and opportunities such as pressure on drug prices, increased regulation, and accelerated innovation."
“In this period of transition, I'm delighted to join Edelman and provide health clients with strategic solutions that enhance health outcomes. I also look forward to contributing to Edelman’s continuous development of the health sector,” she added.
