Ten young leaders from Greater China made the list, including Xiaodu Lou, CEO of Lollitech — a Linear Capital portfolio company.
The Young Global Leaders community was founded in 2004 by Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum. Its mission is to cultivate a sense of responsibility among young leaders to jointly address increasingly complex, interconnected challenges and work together toward a more sustainable and inclusive world.
Xiaodu Lou is the founder and CEO of Lollitech. She graduated from Zhejiang University with a degree in molecular biology in 2009, then joined Eli Lilly and Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD). In 2015, she founded Lollitech to focus on women's health. She leads her team in combining big data and AIoT technologies to continuously develop intelligent software and hardware products that quantify and analyze health data, providing personalized, full-lifecycle, all-scenario digital health services for women worldwide. The company is committed to becoming a global leader in women's digital health.
As the founder of a women's health company, Lou hopes to leverage her domain expertise to attract more exceptional talent and collaboratively pursue projects that create greater meaning and value for women.
With medical, health, and digital technologies and concepts evolving rapidly worldwide, Lollitech is constantly adapting. Facing enormous future challenges, the company also hopes that its connection with the YGL network will foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, explore new research, prevention, and treatment methods, and create a healthier future for women.
