After earning a Master of Science (MSc) in Mathematics and Finance from Imperial College London in 2015, Lawrence Ma joined Manulife as a Corporate Management Trainee and has steadily progressed over the past decade to his current role as Senior Director of Proposition and Product Development with his mission of raising the Stakes in Product Innovation to Power an Integrated Ecosystem. Recently reflecting on industry trends, he shares, “regarding the insurance industry, it has been very competitive. In the upcoming years, we won’t only compete at a product level, but also a more integrated ecosystem level.” To become a more strategic leader, he pursued the HKU Part-time MBA to bridge the gap between specialised product expertise and ecosystem-level strategic thinking. ▶️ In this video, Lawrence explains how the programme is sharpening his business acumen, helping him to identify vital partnerships and connect across industries to build truly integrated ecosystems.
