Alex Leung - HDBW Absolvent
HDBW Graduate Alex Leung | Digital Enterprise Modeling and Entrepreneurship

"Technical discipline, computer science and business administration must be networked in practice in order to develop viable solutions. That's why I was already involved in the development of the business administration master's program at the HDBW in Munich during my time as Managing Director "Mobility" and "Internet of Things" at Accenture Digital Germany."
