Mimi Vong on the path from Wall Street hierarchy to Web3 collaboration. The Metafyed CEO shares how she let go of prestige, found purpose in RWA tokenization, and learned to build for impact, not to prove people wrong.
Mimi Vong, CEO of Metafyed, walks through her journey from Hong Kong to California to Wall Street to China's cutthroat e-commerce battlefield, and finally into Web3. In this Unscripted interview, she discusses the turning point that shifted her from a type-A personality driven by proving others wrong to a builder focused on solving real problems. The contrast is stark: traditional finance's top-down hierarchy versus crypto's collaborative bottom-up model. She reflects on letting go of the prestige she carried in luxury roles to focus on what she's genuinely passionate about: democratizing access to real-world assets across Asia through tokenization. Her lessons on resilience, reinvention, and building when the rules are still being written resonate across industries.
