Shirley: Quick introduction
Dear readers:
Hello from Boston!
My name is Shirley, and I have been with Roland Berger for 7 months. I moved to Boston after I graduated from University of Pennsylvania in Philly, and the only person I knew in Boston at the time was my roommate. Over the past few months, I gained many great friends at work, experienced various novelties (not only work related) and learned tremendously. I was born in Beijing, but raised in Paris, New York and Toronto. Naturally, I enjoy traveling to new places, learning about global topics and experiencing new things (especially food).

While the Boston office predominately focuses in Chemicals, my project experiences were a variety: from helping my chemical client to develop a resourcing growth plan to working with a US agency to publish a report on cost effectively pathways for decarbonization.
Over the past few months, I explored topics and industries that I would, otherwise, never have thought to try.

As I continue my journey, I want to share with you my new experience and new learnings with RB through this blog.
Cheers!
Shirley
