Being an Associate Partner of a start-up office is exciting and challenging. Besides working with the team on project delivery, client management and client development, I involve in office administration and people development on a day-to-day basis. Time management and multi-tasking become essential skills.
I have worked on a vast diversity of projects among different Asian countries in past months and we receive full support from the Germany and Paris offices and the reality of being in a truly international partnership with supporting colleagues is comforting and assuring.
We are shaping the office and its culture from all aspects including recruiting the right people and coaching and developing the junior members. The Shanghai office is expanding, and I am sure that there will be opportunities for interesting work and more challenges in building the new office. I am looking forward to it!
