“ At Trip . com Group we are proud to be home to an over 50 % female workforce . Our goal in pursuing gender equality is to ensure equal opportunity and rewards for success for all individuals , regardless of gender .”
But it ’ s not just in size and revenue where the firm has seen growth . Under Sun ’ s leadership , Trip . com Group has grown in female presence and empowerment too .
Throughout her exec leadership at Trip . com , 53-year-old Sun has championed female success , fostered a positive work culture and implemented a raft of genderinclusive employee policies , from birth gifts to financing education , becoming the first company in China to offer egg-freezing as a benefit . Women now represent more than half of Trip . com Group ’ s 45,000 employees , with 41 % holding midlevel managerial roles and over 30 % executive roles . It ’ s a gender balance achievement Sun describes as far exceeding “ the average internet companies in China and Silicon Valley ”. And she should know , having lived and worked in both , including as an audit manager for KPMG in
Silicon Valley .
As the only female CEO in China ’ s online travel industry , and one of just a few female CEOs in the Chinese tech industry and global travel industry , Sun feels a responsibility to not just champion women in business but inspire them too . A responsibility she considers even greater given that she ’ s the mother of two girls .
