I lead a boutique investment banking firm specializing in Asia–Japan cross-border M&A. We advise both industry-leading multinational corporations and Asia-based SMEs in navigating complex financial and strategic challenges, representing either buy-side or sell-side, typically within the mid-market segment (typically USD 10–100 million). Our geographic coverage spans key markets across Asia-Pacific (including Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and Australia), as well as selected opportunities involving Europe and North America. The firm operates with a sector-agnostic approach, while I maintain a particular focus on Chemicals & Materials, Technology, and Logistics, where I bring differentiated execution capabilities and sector-specific insights. Core Services: -M&A Advisory: End-to-end transaction execution support, from target sourcing through to closing -Strategic Advisory: Corporate finance, cross-border growth strategy, and market entry across Asia-Pacific
