Maoye Cao

MBA Business Administration, 2005

Since graduating can you describe your journey to your current career?

My first job was with a start-up company in Shanghai. It wasn’t an easy experience. Not long after I joined the team my boss informed me that the company was dealing with financial problems.

I had to find another job. I found one at Binhai Golf, but I wasn’t happy.

It wasn’t until I started a job as Overseas Business Development Manager for the Shanghai Euroasia Piano company that found my real value.

From there I went on to my current job.
