A Child's Notebook

We’re thrilled to welcome Athena Xie to our board!

Bringing more than 20 years of experience across product, marketing, and go-to-market strategy, Athena has built and scaled emerging businesses in the tech, telecom, e-commerce, and consumer sectors across North America, Asia, and Europe. Her expertise lies in transforming complex ideas into clear, compelling value through storytelling, creative problem-solving, and cross-cultural communication.

Athena’s connection to ACN’s mission is personal:
“As a mother of a child with special needs, I know firsthand that every child deserves the chance to learn and flourish, regardless of their circumstances. I am deeply moved by ACN’s model of partnering with local communities and leading with listening. Having grown up and worked across Asia, I feel a personal connection to the region and a profound admiration for families who see education as the path to a better future.”

Please join us in welcoming Athena to A Child’s Notebook!
