About Liang

I’m a strategy and transformation consultant with 8+ years of experience in global pharma, working across the US, China, and Europe at the intersection of business, operations, and digital.

I help organizations improve efficiency, simplify complex processes, and bring clarity to how work actually gets done. My focus is on aligning stakeholders, clarifying priorities, and redesigning workflows so teams can move faster and make better decisions. I’ve worked on topics such as global planning, governance, and cross-functional coordination, including leading the rollout of AI-enabled planning solutions at Sanofi used by 3,000+ users. I’m particularly interested in digital transformation where AI is applied in a practical, business-driven way.

I’m also an after-work artist, with over 20 years of training in painting, dance, and music. It’s a big part of how I see the world. I naturally pay attention to structure, rhythm, and composition, and I bring that sense of aesthetics and creativity into my work in a very grounded, practical way.

My working style is structured, collaborative, and human-centered. I focus on making things clear, workable, and aligned—so that ideas don’t just stay ideas, but actually move forward.
