Kiri Sinclair is the daughter of the late great Kevin Sinclair, one of Hong Kong’s most celebrated journalists, who was with the South China Morning Post for over forty years. Over his career he’s interviewed everyone from royalty and captains of industry to rural villagers, and found them all equally fascinating. Kiri is also the founder and CEO of Sinclair, an award-winning independent PR, digital and experiential agency.
In this episode I talk to Kiri about how she started Sinclair, what it was like growing up with her dad, how his love of storytelling has inspired her as an entrepreneur. We also speak at length about our mutual experiences growing up in Hong Kong, the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China, the dramatic growth of China, and what it’s like being a “blondest of blond” child in this Chinese city.
