About Me: A dedicated and curious lifelong learner, passionate about technology, leadership, and making a difference

My Biggest Career Accomplishment

In my previous role, I was selected to join an M&A task force, analysing differences in SAP across companies, executing integration migration, and contributing to the unification of financial management methods and regulations.

Aspirations for Pursuing an MBA

I hope to develop in-depth knowledge both theoretically and practically. In addition, I aim to enhance my leadership skills, expand my network, and gain strategic business insights. This has led me to pursue an MBA because I want to build a career in a broader market, not just in Korea.

Post-MBA, I would like to challenge myself by working in global corporations, especially those that embrace technology, sustainability, and ESG initiatives. I am looking to gain exposure to different ideas and new financial environments as I advance my career with leadership roles and opportunities to make contributions and a positive impact on my organization.

Why HKU MBA

When choosing the right programme, I considered several important factors, such as curriculum focus, networking opportunities, reputation, global exposure, and alignment with my career goals.

To better navigate and work in global business, I sought ways to improve myself more systematically and professionally. I am particularly interested in the Asian market and believe that building a successful career here is the first step toward entering the global market. Additionally, Hong Kong is an important hub for Asian financial markets. I believe that pursuing an MBA programme here is essential, as it will allow me to engage with many global companies in the region.

Advice for Prospective Candidates

Be authentic, clearly articulate your goals, and showcase how your experiences align with the programme’s values.
