Misa Chien Biography

Misa Chien is an authentic leader who is known for inspiring others and helping people feel less alone and more connected through positivity and transparency.

Chien’s engaging and charismatic communication style stems from her experience using multiple forms of communication, including TV appearances, speaking at renowned institutions (Harvard Business School and The Harvard Club), and gracing the runway for brands such as Neutrogena and Target.

Chien's exceptional leadership and entrepreneurial style have propelled her into high demand as a speaker, podcast host, and television personality. She has even earned the distinction of being ranked as the 23rd most viewed woman on LinkedIn worldwide and the #1 most viewed Asian American woman nationwide, with 16 million+ views per month.

Her past speaking clients include Harvard Business School, UCLA, USC, and the University of Washington. She has been featured in Inc. Magazine's 30 Under 30 Entrepreneurs, Forbes Women to Watch, LinkedIn Top Voices, and as a serial entrepreneur on the Food Network’s Great Food Truck Race, embarrassing herself in front of over 60 million viewers worldwide.

In terms of her background as an entrepreneur, over the years, Chien has founded several companies, from food trucks to software, that have reached seven figures in revenue, a milestone that less than two percent of female entrepreneurs are able to achieve.

Based on her experience as an Asian American female founder for 18+ years, Chien launched The Authentic Asian in October 2023, an AAPI Female Leadership Community to help AAPI Female Founders and C-Levels feel less alone and more connected with more than 100 members across the United States.
