Yang Yu

I come from a business-oriented family, where I developed an awareness of business and finance at a young age. This early exposure led me to study accounting and earn a bachelor’s degree in the field, which later grew into a broader interest in understanding how businesses scale and create value.

After college, I spent eight years at PwC serving leading technology clients during Tech boom. I advised China's tech companies listed in Hong Kong and the U.S., focusing on IPO readiness, M&A transactions, and cross-border compliance. My clients included major players in gaming, live streaming, and e-commerce, and I built expertise in solving complex accounting and reporting challenges while seeing firsthand how capital markets enable growth.

These experiences motivated my pivot into investment banking, where I hope to help companies access capital through IPOs, bond issuances, and M&A transactions. I am especially drawn to technology groups for their global scale and focus on innovation, aligning with my passion for how tech and finance together shape how people live and work.

I came to Ross to strengthen my leadership skills, broaden my strategic finance knowledge, and expand my exposure to capital markets. By engaging with alumni and peers from diverse backgrounds, I am expanding my network, diversifying my skills, and preparing to lead on the global stage.

I’m always happy to share my Ross journey, support prospective students, and contribute to the Ross community—please don’t hesitate to reach out and connect. Go Blue!
