Rob Hsu

Founder and CEO

Rob established Project Morgan to help Asian international students gain admission to top U.S. colleges and pursue lucrative careers. Initially created for Rob’s family members, Project Morgan integrates college and career planning with a team of Ivy League-educated mentors in finance, technology, and consulting to help international students achieve their dreams.

Following his daughter’s summa cum laude graduation from an Ivy League university and her subsequent employment at a leading investment bank, Rob chose to leverage Project Morgan’s network and resources to assist other Chinese international students enter top U.S. colleges. So far, 2/3 of our students have gained admission into their top three schools.

Before retiring from finance in 2013, Rob worked as a hedge fund manager, including years as a vice president and portfolio manager at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. His forthcoming Chinese book《高盛爸爸摩根女儿》 from Fudan University Publishing, will help guide Chinese students aiming for top U.S. colleges and lucrative careers in finance and tech.
