The Linkin Lawyer: Unprofessional Network | Learner's Digest S3.5

In this episode, I'd like to address the brand image of LinkedIn, censorship, and pose a question: What's the point of LinkedIn?

As usual, feel free to disagree with my position—but please, listen through to the end, it won't be long.

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.
