Michele Wee - Founder and CEO “Who says I can’t”

In this special episode of Thriving in the Age of Disruption, released in conjunction with International Women’s Day 2026, Dr. Ramesh Ramachandra and co-host Poorani Thanusha sit down with sisters Felicia Wee and Michele Wee for a thoughtful conversation on family, entrepreneurship, and sustaining meaningful relationships while building lives along different paths.

Although they share the same childhood and family roots, Felicia and Michele have taken distinct professional paths. Felicia serves as Chief Operating Officer at Portcullis, a global family office platform providing professional services to family offices and wealth-owning families. Michele, formerly a banker, recently pivoted into entrepreneurship and now runs her own venture, Who Says I Can’t, based in Vietnam.

A particularly personal moment in the episode emerges as both Felicia and Michele reflect on navigating their parents’ divorce while growing up, and how those experiences shaped their resilience, emotional maturity, and approach to relationships today.

The discussion also touches on different forms of entrepreneurship. Felicia shares insights about entrepreneurial thinking within a corporate and family-office environment, while Michele reflects on the transition from banking into building her own business.

The episode concludes with reflections on spirituality, simplicity, and parenting. As committed and active parents themselves, Felicia and Michele discuss how they try to pass on values of resilience, humility, and emotional awareness to the next generation.

Ultimately, this conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of how family relationships evolve over time—and how shared roots can continue to sustain connection even as life paths diverge.
