About
An operator, advisor and investor
China is central to global investors, international companies, technology and supply chains — yet China decisions are hard to get right from outside the market. I help clients navigate those situations with independent, operator-led judgment, built on 20+ years across engineering, Big-4 consulting, founding and investing.
I don't just produce reports. I help clients understand what is actually happening, what matters, and what they should do next.
