Victoria Wang, Executive Producer
Victoria Wang is the co-founder of The Story Exchange. She is a former banker and marketing consultant with more than three decades of experience in the financial world. As she rose through the ranks of corporate America, she saw very few role models or even other women to talk to at senior levels. By the time she left she wanted to find ways to mentor women and to encourage them down the path to economic independence. Not one to sit home and retire, Victoria travels the world looking for stories and is learning to play jazz piano in her free time.

She is a film producer and director who started her own business, Ambrica Productions, in 1986 to make documentaries with an international scope and interest.

She has three passports, which she rotates to keep herself out of trouble.
