I am a member of Stanford Consulting and Stanford Venture Capital Club. This summer, I will be working for a financial information start-up in Tokyo, Japan. I am interested in possibilities of new online marketing strategies using interactive videos and free sharing of financial news on the internet. After graduation, I will be working for McKinsey & Company in the Tokyo office.
