Christie Dao saw a need for Asian impats with Western education and experience to bridge the gap in the developing East. So, in 1986, just a year after she moved to the United States with her family, she told them she would someday return to Asia to work.
And in 2000, she did.
After holding various jobs at Intel — from supply chain to procurement to IT and then to marketing — the time came for Christie to ask her manager to make the move from California to overseas. And once in Singapore, Christie helped start up IT M&A operations in the greater Asia region and ran various teams of all sizes.
Today, Christie will tell you she has her dream job in marketing. Currently she manages Intel Flex+, a channel loyalty program covering 6,000 members across 14 countries. Christie shows that hard work — and experience across several divisions within a company — can help you find your dream job.
