Julie Pham arrived in the United States as a refugee. But her story didn’t stop at survival.

From navigating life between Vietnamese and American identities to earning a PhD, taking over her parents’ Vietnamese-language newspaper, building a career in academia, and later moving into the tech world, Julie kept reinventing what belonging and success could look like. Eventually, she took another leap and founded her own company, shaping conversations around culture, leadership, and change.

This is not just a story about leaving a country. It’s about building a voice, questioning where you fit, and creating your own space when none exists.
