Ying Shea, Celebrates with her partners China Doll's 1 YEAR Anniversary!  360Fashion interviews this top fashion and technology fusion in Beijing, China. We ask Ying Shea questions for all women who wish to achieve a full career and family. Ying Shea gives us advice for how to navigate the masculine world of business and remain glamourus, fashionable, and professional. We thank Mrs. Shea for taking a moment in her very busy day, to give us tips and insight into what we can do to encourage other women to enter the technology field.

Q1: It's not common to find women in high powered technology positions. How did you get to be the executive director of Cisco China?

很难发现女性在科技领域能够做到这么高的位置,你是怎么成为思科中国的执行总监的? 

 

A1: It is relatively uncommon for women to be in higher positions than men, particularly in tech sector, whether it is in China or elsewhere in the world.  But like many things, this is changing. There are more and more women in higher positions as a result of many changes in society: such as equal opportunities policies, more women entering science majors at universities. 

相对来说对女性来说很难做到比 男性更高的位置,特别是在科技领域,不管是在中国还是在世界别的国家.但是就像很多事情一样,总是有改变的.因为社会的改变,更多的女性有更高的位置,比如说社会均等的机会,大学里更多女性学习理科. 

 

As in any other sector, to advance in your career, you need to work hard, be a team player and conduct yourself with high integrity. The sense of achievement coming from making a meaningful contribution is more important than any titles.

不管在哪个领域,想在行业里领先,都需要努力工作,团队合作,还要有很高的诚信度.成就感来自你你做的有意义的贡献,这比职位更重要.

Q2: What does it take to become an executive director of a tech company?

您是怎么成为一个科技公司的总监的?

 

A2: As answered above, you need to know what it is that is required and measured for what you do and then make a plan to do it and follow through on your commitment and take initiatives and seek regular feedback from people around you. Be accountable for your own actions and never take credit of colleague's work.

你需要根据要求来看自己能做什么,然后计划好去执行,坚持你的承诺,主动积极,从周围的人得到反馈.对自己做的事情负责, 不把同事的工作成绩归功于自己.

Q3: Do you ever feel outnumbered by men?

你有没有觉得男性同事太多?

 

A3: Never felt outnumbered by men. If anything, it offers one a sense of accomplishment to be among men in a traditionally men's world.

不会的,会有成就感,处在一个传统的以男性为主的世界.

Q4: What first interested you in technology?

你是怎么对科技感兴趣的?

A4: No one specially, but as we see technology is an important element of our daily life, it is hard not to take an interest in it.  Technology has changed the way we live, work, study and play. Technology has made the world more productive than ever. 

因为科技是我们生活很重要的一部分,很难不感兴趣.科技改变了我们的生活,工作,学习和娱乐.科技让这个世界更加多产.

 

Q5: Why do you think there are not a lot of women interested in technology? What is missing to attract them?

为什么你觉得不是很多女性对科技都感兴趣?为什么吸引不了她们?

 

A5: Technology and women does seem to be at odds a little. Most people think of technology as hard, unfashionable, unglamorous, which is true to some extent, but technology is very sexy in that it is creative and innovative, and when technology and consumer interest marries well, it is very hot... You have seen the storm iPhone generated, or blackberry.

科技和女性是有一点不一致.很多人认为科技很难,不时尚,不光彩照人,某种程度上是这样,但是科技非常有创造性,当科技和顾客的兴趣达到一致的时候,很棒...比如黑莓和 iPhone.

 

 I think what we need is to have technology integrates more with fashion, and creates the image of technology is hot, and also educations women when they are young, that technology is not just for the nerdy, and that there is great future for a girl in a men's world. Why do you think there are not a lot of women in executive positions in companies? Why are there more women in lower positions such as marketing or secretaries?

我想科技需要和时尚更加结合.科技是对男性社会里的女性来说是很有前途的.为什么在公司管理层就不能有女性呢?为什么女性就该处在营销和秘书的职位呢?

Q6: What needs to happen to change this?

怎么才能改变呢?

 

A6: Education, Education, Education...plus positive media and press...

教育,教育,教育....还有积极的媒体宣传

Q7: You are a co-founder in the nightclub China Doll. What made you found a nightclub?

你也是夜总会China Doll的合伙人,怎么想到成立夜总会呢?

 

A7:  I wanted to create a place where culture, music, arts and technology are interwoven seamlessly to offer people a new kind of entertainment experience, the art of play.

我想有个地方是文化,音乐,艺术和科技并存,能够给人们带去娱乐体验和艺术感.

 

Q8: China Doll was recently redesigned. Tell us about the interior.

最近刚装修,能告诉我们以下内部设计吗?

 

A8: The interior of the club focuses on the fusion of art, technology and lifestyle, and it is the place where people can enjoy night life with style and comfort.

内部结合了艺术,科技和生活.人们在那里可以享受到品质和舒适的夜生活.
