Jeongling Liu President, ADI Medical
" Relationships are the success of my business.”
Born in Taiwan, Jeongling Liu came to the United States to get her Master’s degree and settled in Chicago, founding Asia Dynamics, Inc., an import business, soon after graduating. Her vision was grand: To create the most innovative medical supply company in the U.S.A. Asia Dynamics contracts with manufacturing businesses in China and runs a distribution business in the U.S. To succeed, Liu developed an international team that can work across two cultures. In addition, Liu has promoted product innovation in the medical equipment field by creating customized surgical packages for each type of surgical procedure. She also pioneered automation in production facilities in Asia to help keep costs competitive for customers in the United States. As a first generation immigrant, Liu feels a strong obligation to give back to other new citizens in her community. Recalling her own start, she says, “When I first came here 30 years ago, there weren’t many organizations to help people.” Liu is president of the Board of the Midwest Asian Health Association in Chicago, a group that provides free health screening services and helps people with language barriers get better healthcare through education and community outreach. “I’m so glad that after 30 years of being an outsider, I am in and helping people.” Liu is a member of Judy Barr Topinka’s Asian-American Advisory Council, which works to promote legislation to advance the well-being of the Asian-American community in Illinois. Judy Barr Topinka says of Liu, “Jeongling has become a respected and recognized leader in her community. Her involvement in numerous organizations and associations is another example of her commitment to building a foundation that will lead to a future of opportunity and success for the next generation of public and private sector leaders. As a member of my Asian-American Advisory Council, Jeongling brings knowledge of her community and energy to create a future where today’s dreams become tomorrow’s realities.” • Board memberships include:
