Christel Buchanan

While visiting CZ in the United Arab Emirates, I didn’t only get to see Dubai, I also got the privilege of meeting some of the most influential people in Crypto at a small house party in Abu Dhabi. Two of those people include Christel and her husband Mike Buchanan, who live in Singapore.

From the moment I heard Christel’s story, I knew she was the kind of global entrepreneur whose perspectives could enlighten anyone. I asked if she would volunteer some time for a video call with me. I wanted to learn from her. Then I could share her message with people in our audience–many of whom are women living in crisis. We need to feature people like Christel–a self-directed woman who builds and builds.

Christel is the personification of an entrepreneur. Before she became successful, she invested in herself to learn. As she learned, she used her wisdom to identify opportunities. She didn’t only learn by doing, but also by observing while working at major global companies. She was born and raised in Singapore, where she benefited from a strong public education system. She earned a scholarship to attend university, but also did her own research by looking outside the classroom to find opportunities to create or seize. She’s always been driven to learn by doing.
