100 INSEAD Alumni - From McKinsey Partner to Lufax CEO: Taking the Helm
Note: This session will be conducted in Chinese.
What changes when a trusted advisor becomes the person ultimately responsible for the business?
After more than a decade at McKinsey & Company, Xiang Ji , MBA'13D, progressed from Consultant to Partner, building deep expertise in financial services and advising senior leaders on complex business decisions. Today, as CEO of Lufax Holding Ltd., he has taken on a fundamentally different responsibility: leading the business and owning the outcomes.
From McKinsey Partner to Lufax CEO: Taking the Helm
主题：从麦肯锡合伙人到陆金所控股CEO：角色转变与掌舵之路
（注：此活动将以中文进行）
In this episode of the 100 INSEAD Alumni Series, Xiang will share the leadership journey behind this transition — from solving problems to influencing decisions, from advising leaders to making and owning decisions, and ultimately to mobilising an organisation behind them.
What changes when you move from advising CEOs to becoming one? Which consulting capabilities remain invaluable, and what needs to be learned — or unlearned — when taking the helm? And as responsibilities grow, how does a leader evolve from having the answers to setting direction, empowering people and leading an organisation through uncertainty?
Join us for a candid conversation about consulting, leadership and what it really takes to make the transition from trusted advisor to enterprise leader.
This session will explore:
- From Consultant to Partner: What does it take to evolve from problem solver to trusted advisor?
- From Advisor to CEO: What changes when you become accountable for the decisions and outcomes?
- From Strategy to Execution: How do you mobilise people and turn strategic choices into business results?
- Taking the Helm: How do leaders set direction, empower people and lead an organisation through change and uncertainty?
