Jack Tang

I thank CMP for helping me as a new immigrant to build a strong foundation for my academic and professional journey.
— Jack Tang, an Underwriting Account Service Analyst at Zurich North America. He joined CMP in 2015 barely speaking any English and graduated with honors from NYU in 2021 with straight A.
CMP’s small business workshops and internship opportunities exposed me to the idea of entrepreneurship. This life-changing experience provided me a career option that I had never thought I would have taken.
— Andy Wang, the operator of two Bonchon Chicken restaurants, achieved the third-highest revenue among over 200 Bonchon Chicken franchisees nationwide in 2021 and 2022 with his Brooklyn store.
