By Rana Wehbe WatsonI am Editorial Director/Special Projects at Forbes Asia where I oversee and edit all Forbes non-wealth lists in the region. These include the 30 Under 30 Asia, Asia's Power Businesswomen, Heroes of Philanthropy and 50 Over 50 Asia.I also work on the programming of Forbes' key events in Asia including the Under 30 Asia Summit, Best Under A Billion and 100 To Watch Forum.Born and bred in Beirut, Lebanon β my eclectic journey has taken me to Dubai, Singapore and now Hong Kong, where I worked at global newsrooms taking on various editorial roles. Be it tech or fashion - I am always inspired by the creativity, energy and talent of those who dare to take a risk and follow their passion β something I personally thrive on. I'm also equally fond of Asimov's science fiction novels and skyhigh heels .
