Hans Basanado Pangaribuan

Hi all! My name is Hans. I am currently a management consultant domain expert at Mercor and Ethos AI, with experience in AI training and frontier LLM evaluation for leading AI research labs. Previously, I worked at Accenture NYC, where I was aligned with the Banking and Capital Markets practice. My expertise centers on developing strategic, actionable recommendations that help institutional clients improve business performance and drive sustainable growth. Learn more about my professional work by exploring my resume below.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring my local area for gem foods and staying on top of my TV shows and movies (unless it's time for another Lord of the Rings trilogy marathon). As a devoted Christian, I actively participate in church services, embracing worship, prayer, and fellowship as integral parts of my spiritual commitment.

03 Community Involvement

Giving back is part of the practice.

Empowering early professionals through speaker series & events.

As I progress in my career, I have found a meaningful way to connect and give back by engaging in speaker series for students, professionals, and other forums. Whether as a mentor or career expert, I aim to provide the guidance I once struggled to find when I was exploring my own path.

Through these sessions, I share insights, lead impactful discussions, and connect with individuals to foster growth. The goal: create professional relationships that inspire new ideas, transfer hard-won knowledge, and empower others to reach their own aspirations.

Built at CSUF through investment, leadership, and community.

At Cal State Fullerton, I was active across several organizations that shaped my academic, professional, and cultural foundation. The Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) gave me hands-on experience in investment management and financial analysis. Sigma Upsilon Mu sharpened my leadership and networking skills. The Finance Association expanded my industry exposure through events and connections. The Association of Indonesian Students (AIS) gave me a community to share my heritage with. These experiences strengthened my interpersonal skills, preparing me for my future endeavors.

Faith, fellowship, and service to community.

As a Christian, I actively participate in church services, embracing worship, prayer, and fellowship as essential aspects of my faith. Beyond attending services, I engage in community outreach by helping organize initiatives such as feeding the homeless and supporting those in need. I also contribute through music performances and Indonesian cultural events, using these platforms to foster unity and share my heritage. Through these efforts, I strengthen my faith, serve my community, and build meaningful connections with others.
