FLOMO/Nygala Corp.’s CEO Featured inside Profiles in Diversity Journal’s 2013 Women Worth Watching Magazine Issue



TETERBORO, NJ (September, 21, 2012) – FLOMO is proud to announce that their President & CEO, Wendy Shen, was featured as one of the 2013 Women Worth Watching inside the Profiles in Diversity Journal magazine September/October 2012 issue.

The profiles feature a wide range of over 100 successful female business leaders including CEO’s, CFO’s, COO’s, Directors, Vice Presidents, and Managers from all over the world. The editors asked each woman about how they built their success, how education plays a role in their career, and their opinion on how young people can prepare for their future and careers better.

Wendy Shen’s Profile on Page 215

 Wendy Shen explained what she thinks schools should do to better help prepare young students for their future, “Schools should add leadership/business classes or extra-curricular clubs to their mandatory core curriculum to help students build confidence in the workplace with knowledge of various industries and analytical thinking.”

Shen also explained how after-school programs can be positive for students to learn while having fun after the typical school day is over, “Growing up, I learned the importance of helping others in an after-school program where we helped those with special needs. Teachers can help by being involved in clubs and getting more students to sign up. Being part of a team or group will make children feel more meaningful while they have fun with friends. Even having a cookie sale to raise money for a special organization teaches children how to set up events, sales techniques to raise money, and think creatively toward promoting a specific initiative.”

FLOMO/Nygala Corp. currently sponsors and supports the Girl Scouts in NJ and Shen insists that other businesses can find ways to show their support to group organizations by giving one of her company’s past programs as an example, “FLOMO/Nygala Corp., has created a special program for the Girl Scouts called, “Future CEO”. We take a group of girls on a tour of our headquarters and teach them about the fundamentals of business and roles of a CEO. To make it even more fun, the 2-day program concludes with a group project where the girls can create their own products.”

FLOMO CEO Featured in Diversity Journal Magazine Article – May/June 2012 Issue

Asian-Pacific American Heritage: More Than a “Model Minority”


FLOMO was proud to have their CEO featured in a special article in Diversity Journal magazine  that recognized the obstacles and triumphs of successful Asian-Pacific American Heritage leaders. Wendy Shen, President & CEO, shared the inspiration her father gave her while she watched him run his own manufacturing business, “The lessons he taught me in business, coupled with the enjoyment I got out of coaching people and being creative, gave me the experience and power to make my own business dream a reality.” CLICK HERE to read more of the article, Asian-Pacific American Heritage: More Than a “Model Minority”.

The article, written by Grace Austin, discusses Asian-Americans in small business, Asian-American women in business and the special woman’s groups that have helped them, challenges of starting a business as an immigrant, stereotypes, and the future for Asian and Pacific Americans.

Among the influential Asian-Pacific Americans mentioned were, fashion designer Vera Wang, NBA sensation Jeremy Lin, Sourcing Integration Leader of GE Oil & Gas Ken Dao, journalist Connie Chung, Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang, and many more.

Wendy Shen tells her diverse group of employees that being a minority helped her and has some words of wisdom to the younger generation (not quoted from article), “I would like the young Asian/Pacific-American people to know they should be proud of themselves. We speak multiple languages and ultilize our knowledge, know-how, and talent to bring in products and services from Asia to the USA and back to Asia. Also, young Asian/Pacific-American people should not forget their own Asian languages because they will be very helpful to them some day in their business.”
