MoraQuest - Knowledge to Harmony
Jian Ping, Founder and CEO of MoraQuest
"Jennifer has decades of business experience
helping US and Chinese companies more
productively engage with each other - in fact
acting as their cultural conduit. She is
tenacious, engaging, and intellectually curious.
She truly understands the Western and
Chinese mindset and business/cultural
protocol. I highly recommend her!"

Her publications include A Fool’s Paradise (translator, 1984), a collection of translated short stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Chinese Film Theory (co-editor, 1989). She was a working mother at corporate America for 20 years before setting up her own company, MoraQuest LLC, a firm focusing on bridging culture differences and publishing books on cross-cultural issues, with an emphasis on China.

She is a public speaker and has given numerous talks on topics related to China, women's leadership, and immigrant assimilation at business organizations, special groups, schools, and universities, including the commencement speech at Loyola University Chicago in May 2011.
