Iva Chen is a Los Angeles-based matchmaker and dating coach who specializes in helping Asian singles navigate modern dating and find lasting relationships. She founded Asian Luxe Matchmaking after years of building deep community ties across Southern California, and her work quickly gained a strong following.
Before becoming an entrepreneur, Iva spent over a decade in corporate finance and accounting, working at firms like Deloitte & Touche, CBS Television Distribution, Nestlé USA, and The Capital Group Companies. She left corporate life in 2011 to focus full-time on businesses centered on helping people — including matchmaking, real estate, and event production.
Iva's approach to dating is grounded in real-world community knowledge and a practical, no-nonsense style shaped by her background in finance and nonprofit leadership. She understands the specific cultural dynamics and pressures many Asian singles face when it comes to dating, and brings both warmth and candor to the work.
