More and more women are becoming entrepreneurial and going after new business opportunities.

Liu said she tried hard to ignore her staff's gender as she led a diverse team. She also believed that mixed-gender teams could produce better performance than those staffed only by male or female.

At the beginning of 2015, about 80 percent of Mia's senior executive team were female. Later in November 2015, about 60 percent of the team were male.
