For many people, finding their passion is critical to how they grow and progress. And it all starts with a single spark. 

For Rozita Tolouey, Dr. Ling Ge, and India Browne, that spark took different forms – one in Hollywood storytelling, one in global innovation, and one asking her parents for a gaming console.

Though they come from different backgrounds, generations, and regions, they share a powerful trait: each turned what drives them into purpose, forging their own path and making meaningful impact.

Here’s how they did it.

Turning Spectators into Participants

Rozita Tolouey is Tencent's Head of Business Development & Partnerships in North America. For her, entertainment has always been about connection.

Her career began in the cinematic world of Hollywood, where storytelling unfolds on the big screen. But gaming revealed something more dynamic—a space where audiences don’t just watch, they step inside immersive worlds and become active participants in their own story.

Today, she thrives where creativity and commerce meet, connecting brands with gaming audiences and transforming ideas into experiences that bring communities together. As marketing evolves from traditional ads to in-game integration, she helps shape new models of engagement that are interactive, participatory, and global.

"When we tell stories with purpose, we don't just entertain—we inspire the world to see itself differently," she says.

Rozita’s own story reflects adaptability and vision, moving across industries and building bridges between storytelling and tech. She’s doing more than shaping campaigns – she’s influencing how people experience entertainment in a digital era.

Building Technology That Imagines the Future

For Dr. Ling Ge, innovation starts long before code is written.

“Every breakthrough begins with your imagination — a bold idea that refuses to accept no for an answer,” she says.

As General Manager and Chief European Officer, Ling views AI not simply as a technology, but as possibility – a platform for imagination and progress.

"AI is a canvas for creativity," she explains.

From research labs to global platforms, her work focuses on developing systems that expand human potential. She encourages teams to ask not only what technology can do, but what it should enable for people and society.

"When we imagine fearlessly, we're not just building technology – we're building the future."

Her leadership reflects perseverance in a fast-moving field and clarity of vision. For her, innovation is not about chasing disruption – it’s about shaping solutions that create opportunity for more people.

When Drive Becomes Profession

India Browne never planned a career in esports — she just loved to play.

What started with excitement over a new game eventually led her to represent England and win gold at a global tournament.

"That's when I realized this is an amazing opportunity," she recalls.

Still early in her career, India combines competitive drive with a balanced life. Esports sharpened her leadership, communication, and resilience — skills that extend far beyond the arena. For her, performance is built not only on talent, but on mindset.

"In the heat of competition, the toughest battle is within yourself. When we own our potential, we don't just change the game. We change what it means to be a competitor."

Community fuels her confidence. Balance sustains her success. What started as play has become her profession — not by accident, but through discipline and belief.

Turning Interest into Impact

These stories, spanning entertainment, innovation, and esports, possess a common thread: passion turned into action. Different paths, yet each woman shows how what moves you can shape not just a career, but have meaningful impact.

When talent is supported and imagination encouraged, careers don’t just progress –  they shape what’s next.
