Zhanqi (Kei) Li

Product Manager · US-based

I've spent 6+ years building and growing consumer products at PayPal, Tencent, and Huawei — turning ambiguous, cross-functional problems into clear product decisions and measurable systems. Most recently, I designed and built my own AI-powered iOS product xiaozao.app.
