 |
Julin Yeo Li Yin Accountancy, Class of 2007 Business Analyst, McKinsey & Co. |
Julin who speaks fluent Spanish, was on the accelerated Double Major Programme in Accountancy and Finance, graduating with first-class honours. In addition to securing an investment bank internship, Julin also studied in London, Atlanta and California under the Global Immersion Programme (GIP).
As the world's leading management consultancy firm, McKinsey & Co is well-known for hiring only the best. In 2007, Julin is the only Singaporean who conquered McKinsey's famously rigorous hiring process to be employed as a Business Analyst.
Julin believes NBS has prepared her very well for the dynamic corporate world - both in terms of academic training and global exposure.
