New here, but not new to banking

Spent 20+ years in IB & Wealth Mgmt across Standard Chartered, Citi, Macquarie, ABN AMRO and boutique platforms — covering Asia and emerging markets, mostly on the origination and distribution side.

Based in Singapore now, running an experiential learning platform for university students and recent graduates — which keeps me close to what the next generation is trying to figure out career-wise.

Happy to help with questions on breaking into banking, Asia market careers, structured finance, fintech or just making sense of a non-linear career path. Drop a comment or DM.
