Managing Director, Greater China Capital

"I have more than 20 years administrative and managerial experience of IT as well as back office operations and project management in banking. I was the First Vice President of BayernLB when I was in the MBA program. The nature of my job required me to frequently update my knowledge and catch up with the rapid changing market. I felt that an MBA would further develop my project management and managerial skill and perhaps, widen my exposure from IT and operations in banking to other business areas
The MBA program was challenging, with limited prior warning of the amount of time and effort, and required total commitment to finish, especially because I was studying it in part time along my very busy day to day work with frequent traveling between Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Out of the topics I learned, I had a much clearer insight in financial analysis, marketing, organization behavior, operations management as well as strategic and project management. I also learned and built a small network from the mix of students who work in different industries. I believe that the program has, in general, enabled me to get prepared for facing the challenges in the future.
