Mentor: Blake Larson, Managing Director, Lalamove, Hong Kong

My goals post-MBA were to transition to a technology-driven logistics company and the CDT team at HKU matched my profile with Mr. Blake Larson, Managing Director of Lalamove. Blake has played a distinct role in the success of Lalamove. It would have taken a lot of warm connections and still a low success rate to have an in-person meeting with Blake Larson but, I was fortunate to have been served on a platter with the help of the HKU MBA Mentorship Programme.

Blake prepared me for the Business Lab pitch on the very first face-to-face meeting with him. Blake has always been approachable and has shared with me valuable insights on Leadership. He asked me to approach job interviews with humility, grit, passion, and execution and since then, it has been my approach to job interviews as well as life. Blake is very humble and is extremely passionate about his work. He will share his life journey and experiences which reflects perseverance and a strong belief in Lalamove. My mentor-mentee relationship with Blake has been a key take away from HKU MBA and I will always nurture this relationship with Mr. Blake Larson.
