Meet Matt Jones-Parry, a member of HKUST’s Full-time MBA Intake 2025. Originally from the UK, Matt comes with experience in sports sponsorship analytics and media valuation, having worked on projects involving brands like Rolex, Heineken, and the European Tour. Recently, he relocated to Hong Kong with his family, looking for a fresh start and new challenges.

After speaking with alumni, students, and faculty, Matt chose HKUST for its academic rigor and global perspective.

Before stepping into the HKUST MBA classroom, Zepei Chen had already built a solid career in private equity, focusing on digital healthcare and new energy in mainland China. But as the global business landscape began to shift, he realized it was time to zoom out—and think bigger. “I think in the past five years, the world has been changing in a way we’ve never seen before,” he says. “Before 2023, the world was rushing into China. But now, China is stepping out into the world.”

“As a hub for the industry in Asia, Hong Kong is a reference city in the world’s financial markets, and is well-connected to innovation hubs such as Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area, which makes HKUST the best option to develop a career in Asia and Hong Kong.” by David CERRILLO
