Bianca Han

Bianca Han, Executive Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, after attending university in her home country of Korea, proceeded to do what was at that time quite unusual for a Korean woman, traveled extensively and unaccompanied throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. This willingness to follow her own path has remained a constant in her career. She worked as a purchasing agent for foreign corporations operating in Korea, for a Korean trading company, and as the liaison between a major U.S. fashion house and Korean manufacturers.

Having emigrated in 1986 to seek opportunities not readily available to women in Korea, Bianca founded her own design company in New York in 1990. As CEO of Han New York she successfully overcame the obstacles common to any startup, relying on marketing and new product development to differentiate her company from its competitors. All of this she placed on the “back burner” to pursue BarterQuest, assuming responsibility for the design of the website.
