Executive Overview

With over two decades of experience in finance, I have built a robust career that began with 11 years in investment banking, covering mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and equity capital markets in Singapore and Hong Kong. During this time, I had the privilege of working on landmark transactions for some of the world's leading companies across various sectors and regions. Transitioning into relationship management for the next nine years, I expanded my expertise to include debt financing, treasury and transactional services. I successfully managed top-tier clients in the real estate, funds, and technology sectors, achieving significant cross-sell success. My career took an exciting turn when I joined a regional unicorn, where I leveraged my banking knowledge to support their corporate transactions. Currently, I am at the forefront of integrating new technology into traditional finance, driving growth and innovation.
