Grace Wong-Folliet

Born and educated in Chicago, Grace moved to Hong Kong to discover her Chinese roots, but who knew she would end up meeting a French husband, having two boys and moving to Paris 16 years later? After a fulfilling career working in media and communications and travelling the world for multinational companies such as Leo Burnett and Turner Broadcasting (home of CNN and Cartoon Network), motherhood inspired Grace to reinvent herself as an entrepreneur.

Since moving to Paris in 2009, she co-founded INSPIRELLE in 2015, lectured on Global Media at INSEEC business school, and dabbled in selling novelty cakes — all while working as an independent communications and events consultant. Grace is also active in the Asian and Anglophone communities, and is always ready for a glass of champagne.
