Orientation is officially the first time you meet your classmates from all over the world.

Show Notes

Meet Episode 003 Guest Hiroki Mochizuki!

Born and raised in Japan, Hiroki is a second-year MBA student at Texas McCombs. Since he loved to launch something new, he established several businesses with his friends during college and finally decided to work at a telecom company in Japan. His responsibility was creating new services such as IoT service and accelerating affiliation with start-ups through acquiring small technology companies. However, these processes required him to have basic knowledge of finance and global experience, so he jumped on his MBA journey at McCombs, famous for its innovative and start-up friendly culture.
