I enjoyed the opportunity to work with Giang. She is very sharp, follows through on everything she says she is going to do, and is always looking to help in any way she can. I look forward to working with her again.
Source: LinkedIn Erick Arndt Oct 23, 2012Giang is an amazing connector. She interviewed me for her blog, AsAble.com, and when she found out I was going to be visiting LA, she went into overdrive. I got email introductions to all kinds of great people, a schedule of possible fun events (plus someone to take me to those events!), and an organized trip to the Getty Museum. She's resourceful, friendly, committed, and detail oriented. Very, very impressive.
Source: LinkedIn David Lifson Oct 23, 2012I had the good fortune of having Giang in my MBA study group while attending the UCLA Anderson School of Management. One expects to meet great people at such a prestigious school and Giang didn’t disappoint. Giang is simply a superstar. I have honestly never met anyone with a more can do and dedicated attitude than what she brought to the table. Giang is not only smart and personable but a tireless worker. Giang is one of those productive people that you only hear about but never meet. I have never met anyone who can do more with less time than Giang. During our Master’s thesis project Giang worked tirelessly on all aspects of the project and provided solid guidance and leadership throughout. Anyone would be lucky to have Giang on their team and I hope to work with her again in the future.
Source: LinkedIn Jeremy Przygode Oct 23, 2012Giang has a track record of getting tough projects done, which helps her get a team of supporters whenever she takes on a new project. She's also been a big supporter of tech companies in Southern California. She helped organize Startup LA, one of the first conferences for internet startups in the area. And she used her connections to open doors for other tech conferences.
Source: LinkedIn Andrew Warner Oct 23, 2012Giang is an exceptional leader and a wonderful person. Probably on those rare kinds who can think big, inspire everyone around her and make things happen. I have had an opportunity to work for and work with Giang for so many events at UCLA and have felt and have seen everyone around her say that she is a 'super woman' .
Source: LinkedIn Sabarinath "Sunny" Saran Oct 23, 2012I have known Giang for almost two years now and she is one of the most diligent and organized persons i have known. At UCLA Anderson school of management, she played a pivotal role in initiating and managing ProMBA.org (a web portal for working MBAs). In addition, she has been very active with Enterpreneurs Association and the Price Center and she accomplished all of this while working full time, running her own business and being on the board of other startup companies. She is a person of examplary character, a very strong will and very sincere and i have wintnessed her accomplishments firsthand inspite of great difficulties.
Source: LinkedIn Arafat Butt Oct 23, 2012Extremely hard working and highly capable. Giang's attention to detail, tenacity and networking skills are outstanding. She will be a great asset to any organization.
Source: LinkedIn Wendy Sent Oct 23, 2012I first met Giang Biscan in the summer of 2006 at the Anderson School of Management welcome orientation. I realized early on how truly special this remarkable woman is. She possesses all of the tangible and intangible skills that it takes to succeed in any endeavor she decides to undertake. Her standout qualities are her leadership, time management, and people skills. In these areas she is second to none.
Giang’s most compelling quality is her leadership. She was the first to truly understand that business school is much more than the classes that students take and the books they read. At its core, business school is about people. With that understanding she founded Joined Forces; a club that has now been integrated with the school. Joined Forces is a networking association that gives students at Anderson an avenue to meet new people to enhance their career opportunities. It secondary purpose is to allow students at Anderson the opportunity to mingle with those in similar situations. This gives students the chance to address their concerns with the program and foster new ideas as to how the Anderson School could be improved. The club has been a tremendous success. Thanks in no small part to Giang Biscan.
Giang’s time management skill is impeccable. She is not simply a student; she is a mother or two small children, a wife, a scholar, as well as a friend to numerous individuals within the program, she takes on many different roles to many different people. All of these responsibilities would stress even the most efficient but Giang seems not only be able to handle all of these responsibilities but thrive as well. She dedicates herself to a very demanding job, working upwards of fifty hours or more, finds time to support her friends, and still makes an effort to be there for her children. She does all of this without any complaints or resentments. The have been a number of times when I have asked for her assistance with various projects knowing full well how stretched she was, and she has pulled through for me time and time again.
If Giang’s leadership is her most compelling characteristic then her people skills are her most striking. What makes her so effective when she deals with other people is her high emotional intelligence. I know many people who are able to carry a conversation but I have never seen anyone work a room like Giang. I have witnessed this first hand. The two of us were at a networking event few months back and every time I looked in her direction she was busy putting a smile on someone’s face. She has an uncanny ability to relate to anyone at anytime. She has the capacity to not only listen to what you are saying but also to empathize and understand your point of view. It is a necessary skill for anyone who wishes to succeed in business and Giang can grasp it in a way like no other person I know.
In closing I cannot say enough great things about her.
Source: LinkedIn Ralph Chapoco Oct 23, 2012I had the pleasure of working with Giang when she approached me on behalf of the first Executive MBA recruitment event at Anderson, UCLA. She clearly communicated the goals and information on the event and had great follow-up skills to address any questions. Because she was a wonderful point of contact, I ultimately secured attendance by two Symantec executives. It was a successful event and a successful partnership! I look forward to working with her again.
Source: LinkedIn Cynthia Stack Oct 23, 2012Giang is a verry sharp and exceptional person. Her integrity and work ethic is second to none. Any endevor she attemps will be a great success.
