Prior to joining Facebook in January 2016, Kitty was Chairman/CEO at Lowe China for the past nine years, where she achieved tremendous business growth and led the agency to become the most awarded agency in China in 2014 and 2015. She has also worked with Leo Burnett, McCann, Euro RSCG and Arnold.

This is a unique competition focusing on environmental sustainability, a global topic that we are all concerned about today as it affects everyone. It's no doubt marketers value commercial results, but there is definitely more we could do in our communication efforts to transform and shift consumers behavior towards sustainable choices. This is a truly meaningful award which I'm privileged to be a part of."
