Bobo Rok

I'm Bobo, founder of KORA, a platform I'm building to remove the practical barriers that international visitors face in China: payments, connectivity, navigation, and local discovery. My career has spanned mining operations in Indonesia, pioneering luxury fashion e-commerce in Beijing, and curating immersive art exhibitions in Shanghai. I'm also the government-appointed Cultural Ambassador to China for Burundi and Chair of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Young Patrons Club. Ask me about building in China as a foreigner, cultural diplomacy between Africa and Asia, the Shanghai arts scene, and my journey across wildly different industries.
