Maura founded Sassy in 2009, a go-to blog for cool happenings in Hong Kong which has grown into a media group that has presence in Australia, Dubai and Singapore as well.

We spent a relaxing lunch time with Maura where she shared her story,

“Hong Kong is a great place to start your own business, as many entrepreneurs are willing to take a chance on you even when you’re just starting.”

Speaking from experience, we couldn’t agree more.

“You learn so much about yourself by being an entrepreneur. Think about it as a self development journey.”
