Yanbing Dong is a product manager and aspiring financial analyst with 10 years of cross-industry experience spanning fintech, e-commerce, consulting, and audit, holding a Master’s in Enterprise Risk Management from Columbia and dual degrees in Finance and Arabic. He combines strong financial analysis and risk assessment skills with hands-on data tooling (SQL, Python, Excel) to build dashboards, streamline workflows, and improve decision-making—previous projects delivered up to 25% faster insights and 30% improved onboarding efficiency. At Meituan he translated complex operational metrics into actionable product improvements across Hong Kong and Saudi markets, and at PwC and Kearney he produced audit-grade risk reports and contract-led negotiation support. Unusually for a product professional, he also contributes to open-source ML projects—optimizing memory usage and bug fixes in a well-known Imagen PyTorch implementation—demonstrating a practical blend of quantitative, technical, and multicultural collaboration. Yanbing is seeking roles where financial analytics, risk management, and product operations intersect to drive measurable business impact.
