18 - DIMSUMX & The Future of Heart-Centered Networking: A Conversation with Chalsea-Blaze Chen

Chalsea-Blaze Chen is a visionary data strategist, entrepreneur, and community builder with 15+ years of experience turning analytics into action for global brands like Hyundai, Toyota, Mattel, and Johnson & Johnson. As the founder of startups Creatabu and Concon App, she has explored the intersection of technology, storytelling, and human connection.

In response to an increasingly AI-driven world, Chalsea-Blaze founded DIMSUMX, a platform that reimagines networking through heart-centered gatherings—fostering trust, empathy, and cultural connection beyond traditional hierarchies. While AI can optimize efficiency, she believes real innovation comes from human connection.
