My name is Ivan Wang, and I am from New Zealand. I was raised in Shanghai, China. I studied in IMG Academy and Montverde Academy in Florida for High School. In 2021, I graduated from New York University with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management and Business of Entertainment, Media, and Technology. Currently, I am a Business & Integration Analyst for Accenture.During my time in New York University, I had acquired knowledge and expanded my imagination by devoting myself in schoolwork and experiencing all sorts of culture in the greatest city in the world. I intended to stay in New York to pursue a sports or media related job. In 2020, the global pandemic had affected most industries in the US, including countless sports companies, in a detrimental manner. The pandemic disturbed my initial plan to stay in the US for work and forced me to seek other options for my career. Luckily, a family friend provided a valuable opportunity to work in a consulting company in Shanghai. Despite my lack of experience and knowledge for the consulting industry, I was prepared for the challenge to work for Accenture, one of the largest consulting companies in the world. I returned to China in 2021 and started work with uncertainty, panic, and excitement. I didn’t adapt to the rhythm, routine, and intensity of my role until the third month when I began to grow interest for problem solving. For my first project, my team was assisting and planning digital transformation for AIA Insurance. The satisfaction from helping clients in an organized manner and constant self-improvement facilitated my determination that I want to continue to pursue a consulting career.
