Annie Wang — China Community Manager

Annie Wang is our very talented Community Manager for China. Her home base is in Hangzhou, China where Alibaba is headquartered, but she frequents the United States, where she studied in a foreign exchange program for two years. Having successfully founded a K12 English educational brand with hundreds of students enrolled, she is a “Jill-of-all-trades.” The institute was designated by the G20 International Summit in 2016 as the training sector for staff language acquisition. After three years, it was bought by a well-known educational group.

Annie’s role with Kambria involves several important aspects to continue to deliver on the Kambria Master Plan by building a robust global community of developers. She creates content, translates important documents, and has helped with several important partnerships. All of us here consider Annie to be an asset, as she is an incredibly hard-working, motivated, and passionate #womanintech.

Laura Guy — Lead Content Writer

Laura spends her days writing, researching, editing, crafting, wordsmithing, and just trying to make stuff look and sounds good. A former attorney, Laura lived and worked for many years in Silicon Valley and San Francisco at small firms you may have never heard of such as Google, AMD, and Dolby Labs. A graduate of Stanford University (undergrad) and USC (grad school), Laura finally fled the chilly Bay Area for the warmer, calmer lifestyle of South Florida.

She currently lives in sunny Boynton Beach with her husband, two loving dogs, and exceptionally clever cat! In her free time, Laura likes to shop for real estate, go to the beach, and volunteer with the Junior League. It’s a good life!

Thank you for reading and supporting women in technology. Together we will go far!
