People first
Moving to Vancouver as a child taught me the value of support. Studying psychology at UBC deepened my interest in how people think, choose, and work together.

EXPERIENCE INTO PERSPECTIVE
I’ve been on the business owner’s side of the table.
Running a family grocery store, working in education, and founding a management company shaped how I look at business: understand the people, find the bottleneck, and make the next step workable.
Built through doing
At our grocery store in Nelson, I introduced an electronic POS system and began building an online store. Business improvement became something I could put into practice.
Connections with purpose
Founding Preeminent Management Ltd. brought that experience into client work: business management, support-program research, and coordination between people and resources.
WHAT I BELIEVE
Helping others succeed gives our own work meaning.
I know what it feels like to need someone’s support. That’s why I start by listening—then look for the people, resources, and practical actions that can help.
Stanley XieA story still being written.THE PERSON BEHIND Stanley
From finding my voice to helping others move forward.
When I arrived from Guangzhou, English made it hard to express myself. Teachers and classmates helped me find my footing. That experience stayed with me long after I learned the language.
My path through UBC, a small grocery store, and education businesses helped me find the work I enjoy most: understanding people, improving systems, and bringing a plan together.
