André Georgi earned his master’s degree in management and then joined Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the “Big Three” strategy consulting firms (BCG, McKinsey and Bain), as an associate consultant. During his four years at BCG, Georgi has acquired cross-cultural work experience in Europe, China and the US. With his Chinese language proficiency as a plus in his career, Georgi is currently based in the Greater Bay Area as a project leader, focusing on new venture build and digital transformation. “PHBS is a great example and representation of Shenzhen,” remarked Georgi, referring to the school’s continuous improvement of the quality of its teaching and facilities.

“ All the case studies at PHBS helped improve my strategic thinking, which is a core part of my job now at BCG,” Georgi continued. “The school also helped me observe different cultures, making me a more tolerant and open-minded person. PHBS has international faculty and many students from different countries, and the classes are in English. All these really helped me develop a much broader of view the world and helped me to combine my Western view with my Chinese view. Right now joining PHBS must be one of the coolest things that students can do if they are interested in China.”
