Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Gao is a serial entrepreneur and founder with two decades of experience building and scaling cross-border businesses across education, manufacturing, retail, and trade. He founded The Cambridge Institute of International Education in 2009, growing it into a global organization with over 700 employees and earning an Inc. 5000 ranking, and he continues to launch ventures through Creativestar Solutions, KnowledgeLink, and Creative Lights. Trained in engineering and shaped by China’s opening to the world, he combines technical grounding with hands-on operational expertise in ODM/OEM manufacturing, import/export, and e-commerce. A partner at Yilian Funding, he also brings private equity insight to deal-making and growth strategy in China. Based in Burlington, Massachusetts, Steven is a first-generation self-made leader who mentors clients and partners as part of his commitment to community impact. His GitHub humorously notes “badly coded projects,” hinting at a pragmatic, hands-on inventor mindset rather than polished open-source vanity.
