Name Henry Lam
Study Programme IBBA 2023
Current Location Madrid, Spain
Current Job Associate Consultant, JIIE Consulting

 

Q1. Could you briefly describe your current job scope or responsibilities?

Currently, I am responsible for a consulting project related to a start-up company. I collaborate with a team of 5 associate consultants to identify key issues affecting the revenue stream and propose strategic solutions to enhance the company’s profitability.

 

Q2. Please describe Madrid in three words.

Dynamic, passionate, and diverse.

Madrid is a city brimming with energy and populated by friendly individuals. The Spanish people’s passion adds vibrant colours to our lives. The enthusiastic work culture is motivating, which fosters teamwork and creates a lively atmosphere. Despite cultural differences, the locals are always welcoming. The friendly atmosphere has left a lasting impression on me as I pursue my life journey in Spain.

 

Q3. Which industry do you see as having strong business potential in Spain?

I believe the financial services sector has significant potential for development in Spain. While tourism has traditionally been a major source of national income, this provides a solid foundation for the growth of tertiary service industries, including the financial market. The consulting and investment sectors are also gaining strength, with more prominent firms establishing their offices here.

 

Q4. What is the one thing you miss the most during your study at CUHK Business School?

As time has flown by, I genuinely miss the moments during my university journey when I would gather with my friends near the swimming pool to share our highs and lows at midnight. The nights spent studying for exams and working on group projects are also indelibly etched in my memory, evoking a bittersweet nostalgia.
