Carlo Wolff, ACB
Carlo Wolff, ACB & CL, was one of the first members of the Leadership Toastmasters club and held MVP, EVP and President positions there. He became member and fan of CAT in 2008 and enjoys the great energy here. When on stage, he feels his main purpose is to entertain his audience and make them spend a meaningful moment.
He is from Luxembourg, a pleasant place of banks in the heart of Europe. This allows him to speak five languages – simply because in Luxembourg everybody keeps speaking their native language. Carlo has lived in China since 2003 and enjoys the challenge and opportunities here a lot. Currently he is the MD in Shanghai for Herzog Business Consulting, a Swiss consulting company. Professionally he is strongly interested in anything relating to finance and investments.
Carlo likes abstract and inspiring ideas. Reading, thinking and debating topics are things he enjoys tremendously. He keeps in shape by swimming, running and by drinking (not too much) beer at a famous Belgian Beer bar called Kaiba, which he partners in.

Delphy Chow ACS CL
Delphy Chow, ACS & CL, has been with Toastmasters for over five years. Toastmasters is her “chicken soup for the soul.” She looks serious but shows her light-hearted side at humorous speech contests. She placed third in the Division in 2007 and 2008. She’s been a professional photographer since 1995, specializing in products, corporate functions, nudes, portraits, actors’ headshots and models’ portfolios. Delphy has been a jazz dancer in the R2 professional dance company, a flutist in a military band, an actor with the ETM Talent Agency, and an executive producer of three TV show production companies. In 2003, she devoted herself to homeless animal rescue and fostered about 50 homeless dogs and cats – which made her go broke in 2005. Now during the current world economic crisis, she’s still broke but doesn’t worry about money. Instead, she’s on a spiritual quest and looking for a way to nirvana through Yoga & Zen (meditation).
Jenny Ni, CC & CL, joined Toastmasters in February 2007. She has been EVP of and President of People’s Square TMC and is currently
Jenny Ni, CC & CL
the immediate past president.
Her love of Toastmasters drove her to spend one year serving as an officer. As EVP, she organized every meeting to help members achieve their educational goals. As president, she led the team to be the first club in Shanghai that won the President’s DCP award in 2008.
In her mind, TMC is not a stage to show-off but a learning platform. What you learn from it will also have an unexpectedly good impact on your work and daily life. So after three years of working in an international trading company, she moved to a private company and became a supervisor. She is using leadership skills learnt from TMC to take this new challenge.
She enjoys her pace of life that includes working and traveling, learning and entertaining, and treasuring friends and family. She believes that if we find the joy in our life, then we can really enjoy our life.
