跟着解语的文字，来感受一下北大光华IMBA的班级风采吧！

Florent Geelhand: I am half Belgian, half French. I hold a Masters in International Business Law. I came to China during my year as an exchange student 3 years ago and have done internships in a Law Firm and at the Trade section to the E.U. delegation to China. I chose GSM because it is reputed as the best business school in China, I can be certain to receive a good education in order to understand well how businesses are working. For my future career, I would like to mix my knowledge in Business law, in Business and my interest in government affairs. A position in a Chamber of Commerce or in the Trade section of an embassy will be my dream.

Fabian Zellinger: I am an Austrian, I hold a bachelor’s degree in business, finance, and economics from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. From 2012-2015 I worked at Austria's leading real estate investor and developer. My final position was assistant to the CEO. I chose the Guanghua-ESADE Dual MBA program because both schools are global top tier and the combination of gathering experience in both Europe and China will provide me with a large competitive advantage. Having a network here and understanding the dynamics of China will be critical in the next couple of years. After my MBA I would like to dedicate my work life to Hotel Developments.

Scott MacArthur: I am from the United States and came to Beijing to work in 2013 as an ESL teacher. I am also the Vice President of an educational startup here in Beijing. Beyond my work life I am a musician with bands here in Beijing. I have played countless shows in Beijing as well as several in other Chinese cities. By pursuing my MBA at Guanghua I hope to develop the skills, knowledge and connections that will help me find a new career in the corporate business field, either working to help an American MNC enter into, or expand in China, or to do the same for a Chinese MNC trying to enter the USA's market. I will also continue to help develop my startup as we expand in the future. 

Hwee Jun Lee: I am a Korean who has received education in Korea and in the United Kingdom, and has worked briefly back in Korea. I chose to come to China and study at GSM because of the prospect, opportunity, and future that China holds. With the importance of China to the world economy and market increasing by the day, to learn of its workings from the institution that is most renowned in the country would be more than just a priceless opportunity; and to meet and make contacts with a diverse, international pool of people, whom are likely to influence the world in the future is no less valuable, either.

Tomoko Takahashi: I am from Tokyo, Japan. I have been working as a sales person in the overseas hydropower sales department at Toshiba Corporation in Japan for the past nine years. China is an important market for many industries but I am seeking for a new possibility for the hydropower business in China. I found GSM, one of the best institutions in the world, located in Beijing, where many people gather from all over the place with great ideas and insights, would best prepare myself to fulfill my goal. In the next two years, I would like to immerse myself in China and learn as much as possible. 

Mutita Karakit: I'm from Thailand. Previously, I worked as a credit analyst mainly focused on analyzing financial performance and providing financial solutions to Chinese companies in Thailand. The insights and unique experiences from different business backgrounds shared by the students from China and other countries will give me the chance to experience different things outside of what I am normally accustomed to. Moreover, I can learn international business experiences and innovative ideas from China’s business elites who drive their companies to go global. My career goal is to be a key senior executive who fully links the Thai banking industry to global businesses.

After spending 11 years in Canada, I am now ready to move back to Beijing, the place where I grew up. Guanghua School of Management is the bridge that brings me back to my home country. Before my journey at Guanghua started, I felt excited, curious, and slightly nervous. What would life at Guanghua be like? Who are the people that I’m going to spend the next two years with? Before school officially started, by talking to other students from the wechat group, I realized that our class was like a small united nation – there were students from all around the world: China, Japan, Korea, Zimbabwe, the US… I was surprised by this cultural diversity of our class. This “extracurricular” education in ethnology has definitely allowed me to embrace diversity and better understand how the world works and how to deal with people despite cultural differences.I feel really lucky to have the opportunity to study, enjoy myself, and panic with this group of people for the next 2 years, and I truly believe that we will become lifelong friends. Technology and the economy in China have been growing rapidly. Therefore, I believe that Chinese citizens deserve better healthcare solutions, which gives me a great opportunity to introduce more recent and advanced healthcare technologies into the Chinese market. Without an excellent education, this career plan would be a fantasy. Guanghua’s MBA offers the best program that meets all my needs. I’m confident that Guanghua’s MBA program will provide the best way for me to resume my career in the pharmaceutical industry in China. 

Sophia Zhu: As a French-born Chinese, I grew up in an environment influenced by both Asian and European cultures. I attended the International French School in Beijing, I went back to France for a Master of Science in Management at ESSEC Business School and I am currently pursuing the Dual MBA Program with GSM which I believe is a unique experience that will help me fulfill my short and long-term goals of combining my multicultural background to my future career. In fact, I wish to make the most of my double culture by advising French companies interested in doing business with China and helping Chinese companies expanding abroad.
