Ctrip CEO Jane Sun Receives Asia Game Changer Award

/ -- Ctrip CEO Jane Sun received an Asia Game Changer Award at Asia Society's annual ceremony held on 24 October in New York. Since its inception in 2014, the award has identified and honored leaders who are making a positive contribution to the future of Asia. In receiving the honor, Sun joins a cohort of distinguished previous awardees, including Alibaba founder Jack Ma, renowned architect I.M. Pei, and dozens more.

Nominated for 'showing that business success and gender equality can go hand-in-hand in China', Ms. Sun was awarded the honor in recognition of her efforts both in empowering her female staff at Ctrip, and her persistent lobbying for gender equality in society as a whole. "At Ctrip, gender equality is not a slogan or a goal, but a fact," Ms. Sun said. "It's an honor to have our efforts recognized, and I hope that today's awardees will serve as an inspiration to women across the world."
"Women bring unique and invaluable leadership skills to the table, and research has demonstrated higher investment returns on women-led projects," said Ms. Sun. "But women also face difficult decisions in pursuing their career. I'm proud of our efforts to support our staff in reaching a work-family balance, and hope that moving forward we will see policies like ours implemented more widely across society, and that the 'glass ceiling' will become a thing of the past."
