Vice President Capital Markets and Corporate Development @ Canaan Inc.

About

Founder’s Instinct. Attorney’s Rigor. Global Executive Execution. My path is unconventional: I began as a startup co-founder, refined my rigor within international law firms, and now lead capital strategy as a senior executive for NASDAQ-listed and cross-border organizations. I specialize in two core areas: 1. Creating Value: Architecting strategy and executing M&A, greenfield investments, and fundraising deals while respecting a company’s unique culture. 2. Demonstrating Value: Closing the disconnect between intrinsic worth and market valuation through clear, global narratives. My Methodology • Finding Common Ground: I thrive in high-friction negotiations, identifying shared interests and hidden alignments that others often miss to move "unsolvable" deals forward. • Firm but Personable: I lead with an easygoing and humorous demeanor, yet I am uncompromising on position when necessary. I remain principle-driven and maintain the highest professional integrity under pressure. • Regulatory Navigator: I steer complex deals through difficult regulatory landscapes. I don't view compliance as an obstacle, but as a framework for ensuring deal certainty and long-term stability. • Collaborative Management: I work in the trenches alongside business teams. I am not just a strategist; I am an inspirer who embraces change and designs the specific paths to value realization. • The Hybrid Lens: I am a deal facilitator who truly understands the legal fine print. I combine a founder’s "0-to-1" intuition with an attorney’s rigorous logic to mitigate risk while capturing growth. Career Highlights • Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) | 2021 – 2026: Leading global capital strategy and corporate development in the high-volatility energy and crypto sectors. • Zanyu Technology | 2017 – 2021: Orchestrated a capital strategy that drove net profits from RMB 158M to RMB 389M (146% growth) in just 24 months. • Startup Roots | 2002 – 2004: Co-founded China’s leading vertical beauty e-commerce platform from scratch—years before the era of digital payments.
