Vincent Liu, Training Manager, Jiujiang
Vincent Liu joined Kids2’s Winvention in February 2020 as our Training Manager for the newly opened factory. As part of the HR team, Vincent jumped right in greeting our Winvention new hires ensuring a fun & safe orientation. As many global team members were remote working from home, Vincent and the team found ways to ensure a safe onboarding even during questionable times.

Now with over 450 Winvention team members and counting, Vincent continues to welcome our new kids on the block showcasing each part of our culture’s core values of collaborative, dedicated, entrepreneurial, and FUN!
