Joy Zhu, Ad Sales at Google, AIA Board Member
Born and raised in Shanghai, China, Joy moved to New York at 11 years old. She has since built a highly successful career in advertising, and done media planning & buying everywhere from the Big 6 to independent agencies, publishers, and iconic fashion brands like Calvin Klein. Joy also led ad tech sales at Amazon & Instacart. In 2022, Joy Zhu joined Google’s GMP (Google Marketing Platform) team to help enable marketers to strategize their digital transformation journey via data & technology.
Over the course of her 15+ year career, Joy has become very passionate about DEI in the workplace.

Samantha Choi Cadley, founder & CEO of Manual Labor
Born in Seoul, Korea, Sam immigrated to the US with her family at the age of 4. As they assimilated into life in New York, consuming products like Wonder Bread and Kraft cheese became symbols of what it meant to be an American. She may not have known it then, but this was her first experience around the power of a brand.
After spending decades working at Ralph Lauren and Gap, in 2012 Sam founded creative and marketing agency Manual Labor. With a mission to “Do Great Work with Good People,” Sam and her team help companies unlock their brand value, identify why they exist, and build the right customer experiences. This entrepreneurial spirit has allowed Sam to build a company rooted in diverse backgrounds and ideas that shapes the company now and in the future.
