We did something very special for this episode. First, it’s our first ever episode in English. Second, we had a brilliant and interesting guest William Xiang (Willie). Willie is the Co-Managing Director for Nucleate Taiwan and Head of Strategy and R&D Operations at XWPharma. Last week, we sat down with him in his office/lab at Xizhi District, Taiwan to talk about biotech, his career jumps from financial service to biopharma, and his favorite cocktail bar in Taipei. 

He has a diverse work experience in several roles and companies. At XWPharma, Willie helped the company successfully fundraise three equity venture rounds totaling US$70 million. He has expanded XWPharma’s global operations from Mainland China to US, Taiwan, and Australia.

Before joining XWPharma, Willie worked at The Vanguard Group, the world’s largest mutual fund company. He’s responsible for data analytics and strategy as a Senior Analyst in the Business Channel Strategy Group focusing on Vanguard’s largest broker-dealer clients such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, UBS, and Wells Fargo.

He holds an MBA from University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and received his BS in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from Haverford College.
