Lector Ye graduated from Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. He chose to study in Germany because of his passion for automobiles, afterwards he obtained a master’s degree in management at EBS Business School in Germany. During his study abroad, he was keen on exploring the similarities and differences between Chinese and European business and helped to build bridges of cooperation between Chinese and European companies in various industries. Before coming to Wang & Partners, he worked at the headquarter of Henkel AG & Co. in Düsseldorf, where he was involved in global strategic planning for the adhesives business.
Consulting, on the other hand, was his only love that he identified in his sophomore year. After being exposed to many top companies in Europe, he became more determined about his career direction. Back in China, he chose to join Wang & Partners – seemingly by chance, but inevitably: walking with people who share the same values over a long period of time and making the world a better place through innovation is not only Wang & Partners’ mission, but also exactly what attracted him as an idealist in the first place.
Now, with a group of like-minded partners, he is working hard towards his dream. Of course, what also needs to be worked on is never-ending weight loss.

Usually you would see Qingze sitting by the window and thinking. Of course, maybe half the time he is just in a daze. As the team’s designated thinker, he consistently provides new ideas and effective ways of solving problems.
Qingze joined Wang & Partners Innovation in July 2019. Before that, he worked at a well-known hedge fund on Wall Street that’s focused on the research and trading of Latin American currencies, their derivatives, and stock options. In 2018, he carried out a macroeconomic analysis and research on Argentina based on indicators such as interest rate, inflation rates, and exchange rates. Through modeling and calculation of counterfeit products, he discovered the arbitrage opportunities of the Argentine peso, and boldly shorted. This particular work of Qingze became immensely important because within one year, the Argentine peso has fallen more than 100% against the US dollar.
When not at work, Qingze enjoys music and outdoor activities in his spare time.
