She has successfully completed over $60M worth of projects, including single-family, multifamily, and luxury homes, as well as commercial buildings. She has a strong background in industrial engineering and construction management, which enables her to optimize the design, quality, and efficiency of her developments.
Currently, Winnie works at MetroTown Development, a leading company in creating environmentally responsible communities nationwide.

In her new role, Wang will lead efforts to recruit passionate, like-minded individuals who share a love for jazz and a commitment to community. Her immediate focus is on organizing the 15th Anniversary of UNESCO & Herbie Hancock’s International Jazz Day, a milestone celebration that will shine a global spotlight on Arizona.
Tang is the founder and CEO of Moli Window and Doors, a company recognized for its high-quality craftsmanship and design. As a successful general contractor, she has overseen major building projects across Arizona, earning a reputation for excellence, integrity, and innovation. Her entrepreneurial spirit and proven track record of managing complex projects make her uniquely qualified to guide the Scottsdale Jazz Festival Host Committee.
The Scottsdale Jazz Festival is more than a music event—it is a movement. Next year’s festival will raise awareness about two critical issues in Arizona: the need for affordable housing for creative artists and the vision of creating a permanent multi-purpose Dome for a performance and education center in the state.
“Winnie brings the energy, vision, and dedication we need to grow this festival into a world-class event while also tackling issues that matter deeply to our community,” said William “Doc” Jones, Founder of the International Jazz Day AZ Foundation.
“I love this community, and I believe music has the power to bring people together in ways nothing else can,” said Winnie Tang. “I am honored to help lead the 15th International Jazz Day Anniversary into its next chapter, where we can celebrate jazz while also sparking change that benefits families across Arizona.”
The 15th Anniversary promises to bring together world-renowned jazz artists, community leaders, and cultural advocates to celebrate the power of jazz as a universal language—while also sparking conversations that inspire real change in Arizona.
