团队新人(续) Weina Xu I joined Kearney’s HK Office in late March after working at Merck for nearly six years, with three years at its headquarter in New Jersey and following three years in its regional office in HK. While at Merck, my primary focus is on post-merger integration, organization effectiveness, and corporate development. I had a Bachelor’s degree in Management from Peking University and had my post-graduate study at Carlson School of Management in University of Minnesota. I am also a CFA charterholder. In my spare time, I enjoy Chinese painting, reading interesting books, jogging in a park, traveling to places of interests, and out-door activities such as hiking and skiing. Lorenz Kazda Hi Everyone! My name is Lorenz, 刘睿, 25, from Vienna, Austria. I joined the BJO beginning of march as a Business Analyst. I have a Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting and Controlling from the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, and spent 2 years studying Mandarin in Beijing. I further engaged in the CFA designation, currently studying for Level 2. To balance out the hard working hours, I very much enjoy playing Tennis, Golf or going to the Gym. Being around friends, eating lots of good food, and relaxing with a good book, brings further the much needed change. Sometimes my adventurous second personality takes over and I enjoy “sports” like skydiving and bungee jumping (highest 216 meters). I am very glad and proud to be part of the A.T. Kearney team, especially in this fascinating country. I am looking forward to work with all of you. Teng Yong After more than ten years in the US, I finally returned to China and jointed ATK this February. It has been a wonderful while challenging process to re-adapt myself. After my college, I went aboard and continued to get my PhD in Aerospace Engineering and, later on, my MBA. (I probably can challenge Bernhard in terms of the time stayed in school.) Over the last couple of years, I first worked for EDS in its PLM division serving aerospace and automobile clients and later for Accenture in its Strategy Consulting Service Line focusing on Communications and High-Tech. I also had a brief stint of building a not-so successful start-up with some friends. Other than work, I enjoy reading, gourmet food and … long sleep in the weekends. Lingfeng Guo Prior to joining A.T. Kearney, Nathan Guo worked as an Oracle retail business consultant, focus on Merchandise Management, Price management and Store Operation. He also worked as a business Analyst in Wal-Mart Global Procurement supporting the global Hardline sourcing operation of Wal-Mart. He speaks Chinese Mandarin and English fluently and can conduct basic conversation in Spanish and Dutch. He enjoys travelling, badminton, and racquetball.

海外掠影——苗苗在东京 o settle down in Shanghai after staying in Japan for 10 years, I got my first project assignment with A.T. Kearney - work with Japan office to help a Japanese client to build new business model! Feb 12, after 3 hours flight, I saw a limousine bus staff bowing in front of me, a familiar scene but I would never see in anywhere else than Japan, I knew I was back. The air was clear and fresh. Maybe this winter was too cold in Shanghai, walking on the street in Tokyo, I even felt warm like spring. I treated myself a good Japanese dinner, without knowing my hard is coming soon… Hard Work Although I somehow expected hard work in Japan, I was not well prepared to sleep at 3 everyday. Only after one day, I figured out there are only 5 female consultants among 80 plus consultants in Tokyo office. My team members all seemed impressed when I told them I only worked with ladies for the previous 2 proposals. Team Work I believe most of you would agree team work is part of consulting life, but team work might count and mean more here. You are part of the team. All the information is shared in the team. Almost every email is copied to all, meetings are attended by all, lunches and dinners with all, every piece of work is done by all. And team is part of your life. 2 days’ later came Valentine’s Day. This event is celebrated in an interesting manner on two different dates in Japan. On February 14, female present gifts to their boyfriends or any man close to them. The favor is returned to ladies on the White Day celebrated on March 14. Since the Valentines’ Day is a team event and I am the only female in the whole team, I decided to buy a box of chocolate to my team. I was very satisfied because I heard our partner reminding the team to return me something on White Day, when enjoying the chocolate.. Happy hour – at Tokyo office Annual dinner As a team, you work hard, also play hard As part of the team building, a gorgeous kick-off dinner is a must-have event in Japan. I am sure there will be a “job well done” dinner at the end of project which I hope I can make to attend. And during my stay, I was luckily invited to office wide annual dinner. And the theme is “WA (和)”, which means harmony. Team spirit is everywhere.
