Huihan Lie

Swinging Beyond the Comfort Zone

About

About

Curiosity, a drive to develop, and a fascination with building bridges have been guiding forces throughout Huihan’s life.

They made him take a foundation in law and international organizations and enhance it with a business focus in consulting. Then, after having helped global companies grow in China, Huihan decided to enrich his strategy focus with execution skills and started work in-house, developing relations between China’s government and the Indian leadership of a global wind energy firm.

Building on these experiences and armed with the desire to create something new, Huihan is now setting up a service that provides roots-related research, travel and business consulting services for Overseas Chinese.

The same curiosity and bridge building drive have shaped Huihan as a musician. Having received professional musical training as a drummer, he also plays piano and guitar. His desire to combine different musical styles from across the world has seen him perform with local musicians throughout China, Western Europe, and West Africa.

As an Overseas Chinese born and raised in Holland but with family roots in Indonesia, Huihan’s cross-cultural curiosity translates into a travel passion to places outside the comfort zone. These have included North Korea, Iran, Syria, Burma, Serbia and many others.

It is these broad interests, coupled with a thirst for development, connecting and constructing, that characterizes Huihan’s work as a consultant for Sokrates Partners.
