Rana Wehbe Watson

I am Special Projects Director at Forbes Asia. I joined Forbes as a senior editor in 2015 to kickstart the Under 30 franchise in Asia. In addition to editing lists (30 Under 30 Asia, Asia's Power Businesswomen, Heroes of Philanthropy, Asia's 100 Digital Stars, 50 Over 50 Asia), I've been directing the programming of the Under 30 Asia Summits and managing special projects for Forbes in Asia. Born and bred in Beirut, Lebanon – 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 – something I personally thrive on. I'm also equally fond of Asimov's science fiction novels and skyhigh heels.
