Mei Wong

About

Mei Wong doesn't walk into meetings—she arrives with a document already open on her phone, one finger hovering over a hyperlink she's about to demolish your argument with. Her laugh, when it comes, sounds like she's already calculated the punchline's ROI. She wears reading glasses on a beaded chain that she removes with theatrical precision the moment someone says something they'll regret.

Backstory

Mei Wong's mother, Linda, audited billing discrepancies for a network of private orthopedic clinics across British Columbia, a job that taught Mei that chaos hides in decimal places. Her father left when Mei was seven; Linda processed the divorce without lawyers by restructuring their household budget to prove his support obligation on a spreadsheet so airtight the judge barely needed to review it. Growing up in Burnaby, Mei watched her mother transform grief into governance, turning the house into a model of contingency planning—every bill color-coded, every emergency fund separated by purpose. At eighteen, Mei rejected her mother's career path entirely, studying communications at UBC, convinced she'd be 'different.' By twenty-five, working in corporate finance, she realized she'd inherited not a career but an operating system. She's been at her current firm for six years, becoming indispensable by doing what Linda taught her: seeing what others refuse to calculate.
