１：Tell us about your background
After graduating from college in Canada, I joined an FX company in Toronto and worked there for 2 years doing marketing. Afterwards, I returned to China, where I was born, and worked at a design consulting firm for 2 years doing project management. After leaving that job, I started a landscaping company in China with an acquaintance. There, I served as the COO and project manager, and over two years, we completed landscaping construction projects totaling about 100,000 square meters in Guizhou and Hanan provinces. I came to Japan in 2017 and started attending a Japanese graduate school in 2018. During my time there, I spent five months on an exchange program at Mannheim Business School in Germany. After graduating, I worked in the investment planning department at a Japanese company, where I was responsible for sourcing and proposing M&A deals in line with the company’s policies and strategies, as well as determining corporate value. Then, in November 2021, I joined beBit.
２：Why did you join beBit?
My previous job as part of the internal investment team was different from what I wanted to do, so I started job hunting. Through an agent, I was introduced to beBit, and during the interview I was informed that beBit had just acquired a certain Taiwanese company and was about to enter the PMI (Post-Merger Integration) phase. I felt that I would be able to leverage my background from China to deeply involve myself in this business, and I also wanted to experience the toughness of PMI, so I decided to join beBit.
３：Please tell us about the work you do at beBit
I am working on the business planning for OmniSegment (OS). Specifically, I work on the OS partner program, negotiate with the beBit TECH team, and handle contract-related paperwork. I’m not particularly bound by job titles and am willing to do anything necessary.
4：Tell us one thing you like about beBit
One thing I love about beBit is the very comfortable working environment. For example, even with work-related issues or things I don’t have answers to, I can consult with my superiors or team members and get help to find a solution. The team’s strength is amazing. Also, there are many unique individuals at beBit (in the best way possible), which makes it incredibly interesting haha.
5：What do you do during your free time?
In terms of relaxing during my private time, I enjoy cooking. Trying out various new recipes, watching movies, and having drinks at home is fun for me. Additionally, I work out at the gym. Seeing my max lifting weight gradually increase each time I work out gives me a great sense of accomplishment haha.
６：What’s something that hasn’t changed about you since you were a child?
My insatiable curiosity.
Since I only have one life, I want to experience everything that seems interesting. Now that I'm an adult, things are different, but when I was younger, there were times when I got into slightly dangerous situations haha.
７：If you could be reborn, what would you want to be?
Most people probably won’t get the reference, but I could be reborn, I would want to be the Morty who goes on adventures with Rick from C-137 in the animated series “Rick and Morty.” I think it’d be super fun haha.
８：Which of the 16Personalities are you?
I am an INFJ (Advocate).
９：What is something that has made you happy recently?
One thing that made me happy recently was going back to China last November and seeing my grandparents healthy and well. I hadn’t seen them for four years because of COVID, so I was very happy to meet them again.
１０：Tell us about any challenges you would like to attempt
I’d like to try programming. Even if I can’t write code myself, I want to understand the logic, and at the very least, I’d like to be able to use ChatGPT to write simple codes.
