Frank Yang (杨锋)，香港科技大学MBA 2008 届校友。现任蓝海资本创始合伙人兼CEO 

Frank Yang, Class of 2008 

在风云变幻的资本世界，机遇总是青睐有勇气突破自我、有魄力挑战未知的人。港科大MBA校友杨锋（Frank Yang）正是这样一位一往无前的开拓者：从海关系统到投资领域，从建银国际董事总经理到创立蓝海资本，跨界转型的他成功让梦想落地。 

在Frank身上，你能看到敢于跳出舒适圈的无畏：为了精进自我，他辞去高管职位重返校园，来到港科大全日制MBA项目开启全新的人生征程；你也能感受到他直面挑战勇于创新的精神：创业第一年，他就带领团队完成了一笔价值2.5亿美元的巨额交易，成功跻身当年的“十大医药投资并购项目”。 

重返校园，“问题”最多的学生 

实际上，Frank大学毕业后的第一份工作是在深圳海关从事财务管理工作，但他通过对自己的全面剖析，决定转行进入投资领域——投资所面临的各种不确定，正是最吸引Frank的地方。“投资是一个持续进行价值判断和智力挑战的过程，不仅需要深入学习新的知识，也要懂得利用常识经验。” 而这些正是Frank志之所在。
