This work garnered multiple awards, including an Axiom Business Book Awards Gold Medal and the strategy+business Best Business Book award. His insights have also been showcased in esteemed journals such as Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review, and his case studies have won several awards from the European Foundation for Management Development and The Case Centre.

Before his illustrious academic career, Yu worked as a banker in Hong Kong. He joined IMD in 2011 after receiving his doctoral degree from Harvard Business School.
