About me
As a consultant and an entrepreneur, I help corporate leaders and founders navigate change, identify their strategy, and achieve growth.
Professional bio
Hello, my name is Yifan Yang. I am an independent consultant specializing in growth strategy, market expansion, and fund-raising. I work with a full range of organization types, from Fortune 500 to startups and to investment groups.
I was a Management Consultant at Bain & Company and have worked in Shanghai, Zurich as well as New York offices, respectively. My clients ranged from Private Equity investors to Fortune 500 companies across consumer goods and healthcare sectors. My practices included market entry, growth strategy, due diligence, and sales performance improvement. My oversea experiences provide me with a unique angle in tackling market complexities and cultural differences.
I am also an entrepreneur. I co-founded WE Living, a boutique home goods brand, and operated it for 3 years managing a team across the US and China.
Working with you, I will bring the unique combination of strategic and analytical-driven aptitude as expected from a Bain management consultant, with the “get-it-done” pragmatism hard-earned from entrepreneurship.
Personal bio
I am passionate about female empowerment (as an advocate of developing women into senior leadership roles), diversity and inclusion (as a first-generation immigrant who has lived in Asia, Europe, and the US), technology (as a fan of AI and big data), and small businesses (as an entrepreneur myself).
As an angel investor in my spare time, I am interested in companies that promote diversity, and a healthy lifestyle.
My Hobbies include reading and yoga. I am also a licensed Yoga instructor.
