Lu E.

Strategic Recruiter

I bridge the gap between complex technical insights and global strategic goals. With a focus on high-barrier industries—including Autonomous Mobility, Digital Product Ecosystems, and VR Technology—I provide end-to-end qualitative support across the APAC region and beyond. Core Expertise Technical Moderation: I have led 30+ in-depth interviews (IDIs) and 12 focus groups across tech-intensive sectors. My expertise includes facilitating strategic discussions on Level 3–5 Autonomous Driving frameworks, insurance liability ecosystems, and AI adoption with industry experts in the US, UK, and China markets. UX & Product Strategy: Leveraging a background in VR R&D and QA testing, I translate complex engineering concepts into product-driving insights. I specialize in navigating Design Systems (like Material Design) and developer workflows to ensure cross-platform consistency and scalable product development. Media & OTT Intelligence: Experienced in moderating strategic market studies for major entities (CCTV, CGTN, SMG), delivering actionable intelligence for digital transformation, content monetization, and platform evolution across the Greater China region. The Value I Deliver Technical Precision: I transform dense, technical conversations and complex subject matter into structured, decision-ready intelligence. Cultural & Strategic Bridge: Beyond language, I navigate the nuances of global business etiquette—from Western tech hubs to APAC markets—to ensure seamless cross-cultural alignment. About My Studio I am the founder of The Nexus Research Collective (眾點研究合作社), a Taiwan-based qualitative research and participant recruitment studio serving clients across Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan. The Collective specializes in connecting global research teams with the right APAC participants — across B2B and consumer audiences — with a particular focus on high-barrier sectors where precision recruitment and cultural fluency matter most. 🌐 nexusresearch.work
