World Building | Bing Chen

In a world of hate crimes and inequities, there are few who are bold enough to build new worlds. Bing Chen is no stranger to vision & building; He is one of the original architects of the YouTube Creator Universe and founder of Goldhouse – the premier nonprofit collective of Asian founders, creative voices, and leaders.

As YouTube’s prior Global Head of Creator Development and Management, he was one of the original and principal architects of the multi-billion dollar influencer ecosystem. There, he was responsible for the worldwide program strategy that engaged more than 500 million content creators across 70 countries, co-leading ventures such as the global expansion and evolution of the YouTube Partner Program.

" Anyone can become rich and famous themselves, it is really not hard. But to give that gift to the world and let that children run and make their own sand castles is an impossible task." - Bing Chen
