}}Joanne Ooi (born December 13, 1967) is an environmentalist, art dealer, marketing expert, founder & CEO of Plukka.[1]

Early life

Ooi is the eldest child of two doctors. She was born in Singapore, but moved to the United States where she attended Columbia University and earned her law degree from the University of Pennsylvania.[2]

Ooi served as the Creative Director of Shanghai Tang for seven years.[2] During her time with the company Ooi chose to focus on clothes that were based on traditional Chinese designs and themes, with sales for Shanghai Tang increasing 50%.[3] Ooi was also one of the first persons to use Chinese models in international advertising campaigns and is credited with launching the career of Chinese supermodel, Du Juan.[4]

Beginning in 2009, Ooi operated as the CEO of the environmental organization Clean Air Network, which focused on air pollution and public health.[5] Ooi, together with fellow Clean Air Network CEO Christine Loh, was nominated for Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential" list in 2011.[6]

Ooi frequently speaks and comments on a wide variety of topics, including luxury retail, ecommerce, digital marketing, creativity and entrepreneurship.

Plukka

In December 2011 Ooi launched Plukka, an ecommerce website that specializes in fine jewelry.[7] Ooi, together with Jai Waney, chose to open the website after noticing the steep markup for designer jewelry.[8] Plukka’s business model made waves in the industry for its made-to-order platform that cut out the middlemen associated with traditional fine-jewellery distribution. This approach allows it to maintain extremely competitive pricing while offering directional and artistic jewellery that might be considered too risky or creative for conventional retailers.[9]

Awards

  • 2011: Nominated for Time 100 Most Influential People in the World list
  • 2013: Most Promising Entrepreneur, Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards[10]
