Student Story

Prior to studying for my MBA, I had been working in the investment banking industry for five years; in particular, in charge of cross-border financing and M&A advisory assignments.

After coming to HKU MBA, I had numerous opportunities to meet professionals from diverse backgrounds at executive talks, the mentorship programme and other networking events which consequently inspired me to shift my career from that of a financial advisor to the principal-side.

I am now working as an investment professional at a Japanese government backed private equity fund, specifically aiming to promote typical Japanese commodities / soft-contents overseas. My key responsibility is investment and post-investment strategy and it requires not only finance skill but also skills in marketing, strategy and other fields which were involved in my HKU MBA experience.
