What is the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™ Program?

The EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™ program identifies women entrepreneurs whose companies have the potential to scale and make a significant impact. This year, Florence was selected as one of only 23 women across the U.S. and Canada, showcasing the incredible growth and innovation happening right here at Catalyst Agents.

For those of us lucky enough to work alongside Florence every day, this recognition is no surprise. Her passion for culturally inclusive marketing has driven our team to new heights, and this award affirms what we’ve always known—Florence is a true trailblazer in her field.

Florence Leung: A Visionary in Cultural Marketing

When Florence founded Catalyst Agents, she had a bold vision—to bridge cultural divides and create marketing campaigns that truly resonate with diverse audiences. Over the years, she has grown the agency into a leading player in the world of cultural marketing, partnering with major brands like Concord Pacific, SkinCeuticals, La Roche Posay, and Max Mara.

But more than that, Florence leads with heart. Her commitment to authentic, respectful marketing that transcends language barriers has been inspiring for all of us. She’s built a team that believes in the power of inclusive storytelling, and under her guidance, Catalyst Agents has delivered campaigns that connect on a deep level, ensuring no message gets lost in translation. We always say, “Don’t only tell clients what is doing well, but what isn’t, and provide a solution to that problem.”
