“I see heroes everywhere, every day.”
Yong came to America alone at the age of 15 - one of the biggest risks he took in his life - and he has never looked back. Yong has a diverse background, from being an econometrician to a consultant to an investment banker, and then to a Co-Founder in the Coca-Cola Founders platform. Through it all, his love for learning and teaching has been the common theme for him. He has been called a chronic workaholic, so is tediously working to find more work/life balance.
Yong received MBA and M.A. degrees from Harvard University and a B.S. degree from the University of Chicago. He is married to his college sweetheart and has 3 daughters.
