Chris Pang isn’t asking permission anymore. And maybe that’s the point.
Our Summer 2026 cover is here.
From identity and ambition to carving your own path in an industry that hasn’t always made room for Asian voices, Chris shares the mindset behind this next chapter with honesty, humor, and zero pretense.
This feature is especially close to our hearts. As an Asian-owned publication with an editorial team across the U.S. and Asia, celebrating Asian talent isn’t a moment for us—it’s part of who we are. We’re incredibly grateful to Chris for trusting ELETOM with his story.
