A Story of Vision, Resilience, and Restoration in the Heart of Yangon
Join us for an extraordinary discussion that delves into the deeply personal and profoundly inspiring journey of Koy, a visionary entrepreneur whose unwavering commitment to heritage, purpose, and perseverance reshaped one of Yangon’s most iconic landmarks.
Over the course of five years, Koy painstakingly restored the decaying colonial-era Rangoon New Law Court into the magnificent Rosewood Yangon—a symbol of elegance and history reimagined. But just five months after its grand opening, her work was tested by an onslaught of crises: political upheaval, the Rosewood brand's abrupt exit, natural disasters, and deeply personal sacrifices.
Through Koy’s lens, we explore how the spirit of a place can be honored through design, how vision endures through chaos, and how conviction shapes courage.
What to Expect
· Koy’s personal story of restoring Rosewood Yangon against all odds
· Reflections on resilience in the face of political and natural crises
· Insights into balancing cultural heritage with business innovation
· A powerful conversation on inner peace, mental strength, and leadership in Southeast Asia
