Career
In 2002 Brian began selling her Wei East line on HSN (Home Shopping Network).[2]
In the beginning several HSN executives were cautious of the idea of using her sales idea. At first Wei Brian had almost no media training. She had a strong accent, [3] and this gave her credibility that increased her sales volumes.[4] Savio S. Chan (陳少宏, Pinyin: Chén Shàohóng) and Michael Zakkour, authors of China's Super Consumers: What 1 Billion Customers Want and How to Sell it to Them, wrote that Brian's "passion and authenticity came through."[3]
According to Women’s Wear Daily, in 2010 Brian partnered with Space NK stores in the United Kingdom and United States to introduce a 12-unit prestige treatment line called WEI Beauty.[5] In 2009 Brian won the Asian Women in Business Entrepreneurial Leadership Award. Brian also launched We Help, a community outreach program dedicated to a variety of philanthropic causes. Its first priority was to support families faced with Autism, through contributions to Autism Speaks and the Autism Treatment Center of America.[6]
