So how did a starving student work up to leading roles within the U.S. government and a Fortune 500 company in China? He welcomed the challenges he was faced with and ensured they shaped, rather than defeated, his entrepreneurial spirit.

“Huron taught me to think from various cultural viewpoints and fostered my ability to think analytically and share my perspectives in persuasive ways,” Jiaqi says. “Studying there was a turning point for me; it opened up my mind and provided me with a global vision, which gave me the confdence to establish the bridge between China and the Western world.”
