It is common knowledge that an MBA doesn’t only land you in investment banks but also in top-tier corporations, one of them being the tech giant, Apple.
Earlier, our MBAers had the privilege of hearing from our esteemed MBA elite mentor, Mr Derek Kwok (MBA 1993), Head of Partner Development, Ads Platform at Apple, Greater China. Derek shared his remarkable career journey in the tech industry, including his pivotal roles at Google and Zenith Media, and his current position at Apple.
Key takeaways from Derek’s talk –

We extend our deepest gratitude to Derek for sharing his profound knowledge and experiences. There is no other experience that clears the mist of what it’s like to break into a career in big tech than having a close acquaintance in the room.
