Ting Han

Full-time MBA, Class of 2027
  • Hometown: China. I have also studied and worked in the US and lived in the UK and Germany on exchange programs
  • Industries: IT Advisory, Expert Network Consulting, Sport, and Non-profit
  • Clubs and interests: Women in Leadership, Women in Saas, VC
  • Specialty: those who didn’t come from a technical background (engineering or specific skills like design), but want to pivot to a more “technical” or “non-client facing” role; obviously anyone from China, Asia, or those who had experience studying in US
  • Why ESMT? I picked ESMT because I did an exchange in Berlin in 2018 and I just knew I this is a city I wanted to live for longer again. Also the start up scene. ESMT + Berlin was just a no-brainer for me.
