Our Chinese colleagues celebrate ten years of teamwork, talent, and shared growth

This year, we are celebrating ten years of progress, shaped by a team that has learned and evolved together with the market. What began with a single desk and a few determined pioneers has become a team of nearly forty colleagues, each bringing curiosity, energy, and commitment to everything we do.  

A people-first journey

From the very beginning, our growth has always been centered on our people. Continuous investment in coaching, structured learning programs, and well-defined career paths has empowered our colleagues to build confidence, deepen expertise, and take ownership of their work. This coaching mindset is a core part of our culture, where experienced consultants guide new joiners, challenges are solved together, and growth is encouraged at every step.

Yu Zhang, who joined in 2013, has witnessed this journey firsthand. “There was no real office at the start, only a desk and a lot of teamwork,” she recalls. “With much help from our European offices, we built a solid foundation that’s collaborative, engaged, and ready for new opportunities. The culture here is open and nurturing, where you can grow and feel proud of your impact.”

Jie Wu, Country Lead at OMP China, highlights how the team has shaped the office from day one. “Watching our Chinese office grow over the past decade has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. We started with almost nothing, yet every colleague brought determination, curiosity, and heart. That spirit is still what drives us today.”

“What makes our company special is the trust we are given, the support we receive from global teams, and the way we learn and succeed together. I’m proud of what we’ve built, and even more excited for the people who will join us for the next chapter.”

Globally connected team

Today, our team brings together colleagues with backgrounds from China, Europe, Australia, Singapore, and the United States, combining different perspectives, educational paths, and professional experiences. This global mindset enriches daily work and strengthens collaboration with OMP teams across the world.

Delivery consultants, customer service teams, platform specialists, and business development colleagues work closely together, sharing knowledge and supporting one another as we serve organizations across China and the broader APAC region. We believe that different perspectives lead to better ideas and stronger results. 

New office for the next chapter

To accommodate our continued growth and strengthen teamwork, we’re moving into a larger office this December. The new space offers modern facilities, flexible work areas, and room for future hiring. Every detail is designed to foster communication, learning, and innovation. Much like our relocation in 2018, this move reflects our long-term investment in our people and deep commitment to China and the APAC region.

Guided by partnership and purpose

Jan Geuens, Partner at OMP, sees the ten-year milestone as both a celebration and a springboard for the future. “China has always been a strategic region for us,” Jan shares. “Our team here is motivated, talented, and committed to supporting our customers. We will continue investing in people and creating an environment where colleagues can build meaningful careers. The next decade is full of opportunity, and we’re ready for it.”

A culture built on curiosity and care

Here, expertise goes hand in hand with empathy. We support one another, welcome ideas from every role and level, and view our customers as long-term partners. Every project becomes an opportunity for collaboration, improvement, and impact.

It is a place where people feel connected and valued, where we tackle complex supply chain challenges with both skill and compassion.
