What drives a young achiever like Sherry Zhang to keep pushing boundaries? It all stems from her refusal to settle for mediocrity.
In the latest sixth feature story by ZUOWE, we invited a remarkable young leader—Sherry Zhang, currently the General Manager of Chongqing Boao Group and Chairwoman of ZUOWE Technology. Sherry describes herself as someone who loves to “keep moving.” At every crossroads in life, she has consistently chosen the challenging yet right path.
During the first decade of her career, Sherry switched jobs six times, searching for the right environment to grow. While many around her sought stability, she stood out by marching to the beat of her own drum. Finally, in 2005, she found her footing at Chongqing Yanfeng Adient, where she dedicated 16 years of her professional life.
Over those years, Sherry witnessed China’s transformation from a major automotive manufacturer to a global powerhouse. She herself climbed the corporate ladder from HR Manager to Vice President and eventually to Board Director. These career revolutions not only shaped Sherry into a seasoned professional but also fueled the company’s growth—from under 200 million RMB in revenue and 500 employees to 6 billion RMB and a workforce of 2,500. Through relentless effort and determination, she achieved success for the company, herself, and her team.
Always Something New on the Horizon
If her 16 years of professional experience served as nourishment for Sherry’s journey at Boao Group, ZUOWE was like a seed—incubated in her entrepreneurial vision and rooted in the fertile ground of Boao Group. By building on and innovating from their accumulated expertise, Sherry and her team cultivated yet another field of blossoms.
Dare to Create, Dare to Achieve
In the wake of the pandemic, while many businesses struggled to survive, Boao Group emerged with renewed vitality. This resurgence stemmed from Sherry’s bold vision: What would happen when 16 years of automotive seat manufacturing expertise met the innovation of ergonomic office chairs?
It was an ambitious experiment—and one she embarked on without hesitation. Thus, the first generation of ZUOWE was born. By integrating 30 years of automotive ergonomic data with vehicle-grade manufacturing standards and sourcing suppliers on par with top international brands, Sherry’s relentless pursuit of perfection took shape. The international design awards, patents, and breakthrough success that followed proved that her efforts had paid off.
Of course, for both Sherry and ZUOWE, the journey is far from over. “Keep moving, never settle” is more than a motto—it’s their reality. This spirit of relentless pursuit is woven into every ZUOWE product, inspiring a new generation of young trailblazers. Every challenge is a step toward a brighter view. Don’t just watch your life unfold—dare to take the lead. May we all, in the future, enjoy the rewards of our own purposeful actions—our own ZUOWE.
