HOI-SAN GUAN

Co-Founder, Solissa

Hoi-San Guan builds for people left out of products and systems that were never designed with them in mind.  

She is the Co-Founder of Solissa, a chemo-friendly skincare company created to bring a little sparkle of joy to women navigating life’s most challenging seasons. Co-founded with a cancer fighter, Solissa began with a simple but frustrating truth: most skincare was not made for chemo skin. Solissa is not skincare for a diagnosis; it is skincare for the full person still moving through treatment, recovery, and rediscovering herself afterward. The company is preparing for a summer Kickstarter and building its founding waitlist.

Before Solissa, Hoi-San built systems at Amazon that turned messy, high-friction work into tools and processes people could actually use. She also co-founded one of Amazon’s 13 official affinity groups, creating visibility for an overlooked community across a global employee base of more than 1.5 million people.

A serial entrepreneur and MBA graduate of the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, Hoi-San’s work carries a clear thread: make the path easier for people too often left to figure it out alone.
