​Corinne Trang

Rooted in heritage. Driven by innovation. Shaping the future.

Hi. I'm Corinne Trang, a chef turned strategist, educator, and creative partner. With over twenty years of experience, I work where academia, food culture, business, and innovation converge, guiding purpose-driven ventures across these fields.

 

I’ve helped startups, NGOs, and global organizations bring bold ideas to life. I draw on history, embrace complexity, and build thoughtful strategies and narratives that inspire action.

​

My work stretches across continents and sectors. I’ve launched products with global food brands, guided early-stage founders on business development, and am currently collaborating on an EU-funded project focused on gender equity in deep tech.

​

Whether I’m crafting a sensory-forward workshop, mentoring a founder, writing a pitch narrative, or facilitating a cross-cultural collaboration, I approach each challenge with a systems lens, cultural intelligence, and mindful leadership.

​

What Guides My Work

I believe in the power of food—not only as nourishment, but as culture, identity, and catalyst for change. These three pillars shape how I work and who I work with:

Food & Culture

As an award-winning author and culinary researcher with deep roots in Asian food traditions, I explore how ancestral knowledge and holistic practices can inform the way we produce, consume, and talk about food today. I collaborate with chefs, farmers, and founders to reconnect innovation with intuition, and sustainability with story.

Innovation & Strategy

With a background in business development and international project leadership, I help organizations build scalable, systems-based solutions. I’ve worked on everything from grant-funded gender equity initiatives to regenerative food ventures, always with an eye on long-term resilience and collaborative impact.

Storytelling & Communication

Whether it’s a pitch, a policy proposal, or a publication, I help translate complex ideas into clear, resonant language. I’ve edited and or written brand stories, coached speakers, and taught at various universities. I believe the right words, rooted in authenticity, can inspire trust, shift perceptions, and drive change.

​

Who I Work With

• Founders and startups navigating growth and positioning

• Universities and research institutions, creating food and innovation curricula

• NGOs and public sector agencies shaping policy and public engagement

• Established brands and emerging ventures seeking cultural relevance and global reach​

​

Let’s Connect

The best ideas often start with a conversation over shared food.
Let’s have tea, take a few bites, and talk about your project and how we can collaborate.

Alongside my consulting and creative work, I also lead Liquid Gold Tea, a brand celebrating the artistry and heritage of fine teas.
