Chase Dumont is a former Senior Consultant for IBM and a graduate of Pennsylvania State University. He specializes in drafting, designing, and launching new web-based businesses and web portals for existing offline businesses and seeing them through their initial stages to self-sufficiency.
While in Beijing in 2011 and 2012, Chase ran a small-scale real estate business with Cerise Bai and other partners, learning about the labyrinthine Beijing rental market in the process. He helped Cerise create the Beijing Abode website to make it easier for people unfamiliar with the Beijing apartment market get access to good information and reliable agent services, and ease the transition for expatriates new to Beijing.
