Lukas Hlavac

I am an executive and entrepreneur with more than 10 years of professional experience and a strong track record in China that helps expat executives and professionals in Asia to start and build their own business.I quit a stable corporate career in Hong Kong to build my own multimillion dollar business in China. I went through the prestigious incubation program of the Lane Crawford, got featured in Vogue and Elle China, raised millions of dollars from venture investors, received acquisition offer from a leading Chinese real estate conglomerate, but turned it down, expanded the business across Asia and ultimately left the business I started only to come back to work as General Manager for the same company I left years ago.Now, I help other executives and experienced professionals to build their own ventures, avoid first-timer mistakes and show them that even failure of the business can be the greatest learning experience and career boost.My main industry focus has been on lifestyle, fashion, luxury, interior design, travel, and hospitality. I am deeply interested in modern Chinese culture and speak fluent Mandarin Chinese. I have two master degrees, in technology and business, studied on 3 continents and visited more than 90 countries. I am enthusiastic about bridging cultures and shaking stereotypes.I am an advisor for post-seed and series A startups in travel, lifestyle, fintech and industry 4.0.
