Continuing our Employee Spotlight series, we’re excited to highlight Erik's journey! Originally from Norway, he completed his year of mandatory military service before attending The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. While studying, he worked for a Shanghai-based start-up offering an on-demand beverage delivery service. After graduation in 2018, he joined our Hong Kong team as an Associate. He quickly grew into the role, gaining skills like negotiation, communication and account management. After nine years in Hong Kong and nearly four and a half at AlphaSights, Erik relocated with his family (including their dog, Lulu) to our office in London. He expressed gratitude for the support he received from the team during his move: “I moved at a difficult time with COVID restrictions impacting Hong Kong air traffic and Brexit impacting UK pet policies. The team supported with my visa, bookings, and accommodations and was very understanding throughout all the challenges and uncertainties.” Now a Vice President on our team in London, we’re excited to see Erik continue on his professional journey - thanks for sharing your story! #AlphaSights #EmployeeSpotlights

Following the launch of our Employee Spotlight series last month, we’re excited to share Myrna's story! Myrna Martin-Achard is a Manager on our Corporate team. She was born in Switzerland and raised in the Bahamas and Singapore. She moved back to Switzerland to study international hospitality management at the Hospitality School of Lausanne in 2016. Before joining AlphaSights, she worked in sales at a London-based boutique private jet brokerage. Ready for a career change and skilled at providing her clients with a luxurious and high-touch service, the Associate role at AlphaSights was a natural transition. Despite the steep learning curve, she quickly upskilled in project and stakeholder management. After two years in the role, she was promoted to Manager in 2024. Myrna shared her favorite project she's worked on in that time: “A green hydrogen production project was by far the most interesting brief I’ve worked on. Every expert I spoke with was so passionate about sharing their opinions on regulatory changes and government support schemes to accelerate renewable energy development. Their insights proved critical for the client to evaluate where they can make impactful investments and expand their green hydrogen initiatives.” Thank you for sharing your story, Myrna! #AlphaSights #EmployeeSpotlights

When learning about AlphaSights for the first time, candidates often ask: “What is the knowledge-on-demand industry?” In today’s global economy, investors and business leaders need better insights more rapidly than ever before. Accessing what’s available to everyone on the internet is no longer sufficient. Those who want to stay ahead of the competition need to access information by speaking directly with highly specialized experts in the field. The knowledge-on-demand industry facilitates this in-depth research. React with a 👍 if you now better understand what we do. If not, what other questions can we answer? #AlphaSights #FAQFriday #EarlyCareers
