Fang Chen (Charlene) is a social entrepreneur and creative strategist with over 12 years of experience driving cross-sector environmental communication and systemic innovation. Formerly managing global campaigns for Fortune 500 brands, she co-founded ANOTHER_ in 2018. This research-driven agency translates complex ecological challenges into actionable public programs and sustainable business solutions.  Her flagship initiative, Variark ("An Ark for Variable Natures"), represents a strategic evolution in bio-cultural preservation. Following a successful first phase that provided systemic arts and nature education to over 10,000 youths across 14 rural schools, Variark has scaled into a transnational infrastructure for bio-cultural diversity. Today, it operates as a bidirectional hub, extracting Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) from climate-vulnerable regions and translating indigenous wisdom into globally recognized nature-positive assets and transformative educational frameworks.  Recognized for her ability to architect systems that bridge scientific rigor, cultural heritage, and educational innovation, her studio recently emerged as the sole Asian recipient of both the Green Product Award and the Women Leading Change Award. She brings her deep expertise in evaluating sustainable impact and scalable learning models to the judging panel of the 2026 QS Reimagine Education Awards.
