Jan VOSECKY

Jan believes HKUST not only offered him a fulfilling research experience but also lots of opportunities outside studies that helped him grow and realize his talents. Now an Associate Director at MCON Shanghai, a German consultancy firm focusing on digital transformation in the areas of marketing, sales and aftersales, he credits the University for giving him a strong research background in computer science and big data analysis that has laid a firm foundation for his current job.

During his PhD studies, Jan acquired hard skills that enabled him to understand and contribute to the digital data-driven solutions required at his job. His research experience also helped strengthen his analytical and problem solving skills, which are extremely useful in today's fast-evolving and increasingly complex business and IT landscapes.

On a more personal level, Jan met his wife at HKUST and now both of them live and work in Shanghai. "Studying in Hong Kong is one of the best decisions I've made! It's a great, exciting place at the crossroads of East and West. It's also at the doorstep to China and that's a huge advantage."
