Show Notes

Stimulating children’s minds, parenting in a cross-cultural environment, and setting clear work-life priorities. I talk to Fannie on raising two boys who are curious about the world around them while keeping up with career aspirations.

 

Fannie Soubiele runs Venture Capital Business Development at Amazon Web Services in ASEAN where she helps businesses scale and realize their potential. With a wealth of experience in startups, Fannie was COO of JFDI.Asia, one of the first startup accelerators in Southeast Asia. In 2020, she was recognized in Prestige’s 40 Under 40 List.

 

Fannie and her husband learn to manage cross-cultural differences in parenting through experts’ advice, research, and open conversation. We discuss ways to encourage children’s curiosity by exposing them to diverse experiences: learning different languages, visiting the zoo (and the benefits of an annual membership), reading bedtime stories, and traveling abroad. Fannie explains how planning ahead and setting priorities help her balance motherhood with career ambitions.
