Yi He to Women: “No One Goes Easy on You in Business”

Following her appointment as Binance co-CEO, Yi He shared blunt advice for women in male-dominated fields, urging them to build exceptional professional excellence rather than relying on perceived gender advantages like charm or communication skills. She stated that in business, there is no leniency for being a woman, using the Chinese idiom for brutal competition, "white knife in, red knife out." Yi He stressed that leaning on soft skills undermines professional credibility, and success requires becoming the absolute best in one's field so that capability is respected above all else. Her message aligns with past statements where she encouraged women to be bolder, take risks, and forget gender limitations. Furthermore, she addressed her dual leadership role with Richard Teng, emphasizing that her personal life is independent of her professional achievements and capabilities as a co-founder, asserting Binance's commitment to user interests and asset backing.
