Yuan "Cici" Cao brings more than 20 years of entrepreneurial, sales, and negotiation experience to her role as a Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors. Since 2011, Cici has built a career defined by consistent, compounding growth, closing over $500 million in real estate transactions, while also founding or co-founding several independent ventures spanning consulting, events, and media. Cici remains an active real estate professional today, holding licenses in both New York and New Jersey. Before real estate, Cici spent nearly a decade in fashion, textiles, and retail buying, holding roles at Calvin Klein, Barneys New York, and Escada, and later serving as Vice President of High Country Linens, where she managed $65 million in annual sales and major retail accounts including Macy's and QVC. This blend of high-volume sales leadership, financial acumen, and hands-on operating experience gives Cici a rare, practical understanding of how businesses are built, run, and valued, exactly the perspective her clients need when buying or selling a business. A Columbia University economics graduate with an MBA and CPA concentration, Cici is fluent in English and Mandarin, with working knowledge of Cantonese, Spanish, and Japanese, allowing her to serve a broad and diverse client base. As a lifelong entrepreneur who has personally founded and co-founded multiple businesses, Cici understands the acquisition process from both sides of the table and is committed to guiding buyers and sellers through every step of a successful transaction.
