Vivian Harris

Vivian holds a Master’s Degree in Cultural Anthroplogy from the University of Melbourne. She was fortunate to receive a Commonwealth Government scholarship to study at Sichuan University for 2 years, where she consolidated her mandarin and began her work to foster mutual understanding between Chinese and Australian people.

Vivian spent 15 years based in Shanghai working in consumer market research, listening and talking to “consumers” from behind focus group mirrors, in homes, online and on riverbanks for multinational clients. She also engaged with the local government and Women’s Federation to bring local and expat communities together via cultural activities.

At MLA since 2015, Vivian has been involved in bringing China market and consumer insights to Australia’s red meat industry, including from a large China research study funded by the Federal Government’s Rural Research and Development for Profit program.
