SHANGHAI, April 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- GLG (Gerson
Lehrman Group, Inc.), the world's leading platform for professional
learning, announced today that it has relocated and expanded its
Shanghai office. GLG is the
world's leading platform for on-demand professional learning,
connecting thousands of clients to its more than 600,000
subject-matter experts around the world and across fields for
short- and long-term learning engagements. GLG's 1,500 employees
work from offices in 12 countries.
"GLG provides learning opportunities to help top professionals
and their organizations achieve their most ambitious goals. Our
business in Greater China is
growing rapidly, and is a key market for us as a global firm," said
GLG Managing Director and Head of Asia-Pacific Evan Auyang. "With
this expanded space in Shanghai,
in addition to our already recently-expanded offices in
Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hong
Kong, we are making GLG's world-leading platform for
on-demand learning essential to more and more Greater China-based professionals."
GLG will occupy the 8th floor of the China Overseas

continue to add to our team of world-leading client service
professionals," said Stephan

Like many GLG offices around the world, GLG's new Shanghai office features activity-based
working, which enhances flexibility by providing different types of
private meeting and collaboration spaces, wellness rooms, a pantry,
a café, standing tables, and phone booths. The company pioneered
this approach with its groundbreaking New
York headquarters in 2014, designed by Clive Wilkinson, and activity-based working is
