As a child, Eva Pau, commercial director of Ireland’s Asia Market, bemoaned that she had to go to school seven days a week, but her enterprising parents argued that they also worked seven days a week, so fair is fair. Today, as the winner of the IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year 2022, Eva pays homage to the heritage of hard work she inherited.. “It was really huge and such an honour to be recognised by all the team at IMAGE, the judges and nominees. The response has been phenomenal.
The value of hard work was instilled in Eva from a young age. When she asked her parents why she went to school seven days a week, learning Chinese at the weekends, her dad replied, “Well, we’re working seven days a week.” Eva attributes her work ethic to her parents, who are still working in the family business. “My parents are very humble and have taught me to be humble. After the shock of winning the award, I think back to what I’ve done over the last ten years.
Eva then gained her master of arts in information and communications technology at Trinity College Dublin and her master of science in information technology management and organisational change at Lancaster University. She then worked for international financial institutions in Hong Kong. Joining her parents on a visit to a supplier in Malaysia reignited her interest in the family business, so she returned to Dublin.
With Irish food shoppers developing an adventurous palate, Eva sees the increase in demand for Asian food products. “A lot more people are travelling to Asia. I meet people instore who have been to Thailand, and they would look for raw ingredients for making their own curry paste. It’s amazing to see the change in the Irish people’s palate for Asian food. You see so many trends, what people like to buy.
