Profile picture for Andrey Ivanov

Andrey Ivanov

Born in the USSR; grew up in West Auckland, NZ (Waitākere, Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa); spent all my 20s in Deutschland (Mannheim, Frankfurt, Berlin) & Italia (Milano); back "out West" in Tāmaki Makaurau. A "Westie", a JAFA, vaguely Germanic, Soviet-born, a Kiwi—all in that order and proudly so. Accent vaguely Germanic and fully my own, ja?

PhD (Economics) from Universität Mannheim (Germany) where I co-authored papers on pricing & industrial organization with McKinsey consultants. NOT AN EXPERT.

12+ years strategy consultant (Germany, Italy, NZ); grew own team to 7 employees; large, listed corporations hired my firm; longest return client relationships 7, 5, & 3 years (must've been doing something right, eh?). Occasional Master thesis supervisor.

As I learnt more from being "in" business, wanted to get back to teaching and share this experience; at heart, an entrepreneurial researcher & a researching entrepreneur, an experimenter, learner, an educator & a sharer. Argh, it sounds like I'm full of myself, eh? …

I take my work very seriously & I don't take myself seriously at all—is something I learnt from one of my early clients & one of the best leaders I had the privilege to work with.
