Debby Soo

Debby Soo grew up from humble beginnings as the only daughter of immigrants from Taiwan living in a two bedroom apartment in San Francisco with her parents, aunt and uncle, and her parents. She would go on to graduate from Stanford, even though her father had not graduated from college. Her dream was to one day become a CEO.

She started her career in investment banking and ended up in Hong Kong. She returned to the Bay Area to work on Google Maps, literally having teams drive around Africa and South America with a GPS or collecting paper maps.

After graduating from MIT Sloan School of Management with her MBA, she joined KAYAK where she went from a project manager to running APAC to becoming the Chief Commercial Officer. When the opportunity arose, she threw her hat in the ring to become CEO of OpenTable.

Her story is one of fierce resilience and determination. Nothing was going to stand in Debby's way, because she wouldn't let it. I can't wait for you to hear her stories and be as inspired as I was listening to them.
