Kimberli Cheung Wright is the Founder and CEO of Trepic, a next-generation travel platform built on the belief that technology should enhance our humanity, not replace it. Recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine and INC Magazine as one of the entrepreneurs to watch, Kimberli is redefining the intersection of storytelling, technology, and human experience.
As an award-winning filmmaker and designer, Kimberli directed the documentary Life for Sale, which won four international film awards and contributed to a change in federal healthcare policy — demonstrating the transformative power of storytelling to influence real-world systems. She has mentored the next generation of founders at Stanford d.school's Igniter program and has built and scaled successful ventures across real estate, the creator economy, and travel-tech.
The most profitable companies are the ones genuinely aligned with human flourishing.
At Trepic, Kimberli has built a platform where creators own their narratives and capture fair value, travelers discover experiences through authentic human stories rather than algorithms, and brands connect with audiences in meaningful ways. With partnerships including il San Pietro di Positano, 7132 Hotel, Diamonds Thudufushi, LUX Hotels, and Ritz-Carlton, Trepic has secured over 700,000 properties globally and built a creator ecosystem reaching millions.
Kimberli's work across multiple domains demonstrates a rare founder profile: one who thinks like a storyteller, builds like an operator, and ships like a technologist. Her central belief — that technology should serve human flourishing, not exploit it — informs every product decision, hire, and partnership at Trepic.
