Emily Wang is a Partner and COO at Griffin at Griffin. She is proficient in Chinese. Colleagues describe her as "Emily advised me and my co-founder on WayUp’s strategic equity investment from a public company. From the jump, Emily dove into the trenches with us, in a way I’ve never seen from any other advisor. She essentially became part of our team - flying to NYC to coach and prepare us, day and night and through weekends, on all parts of the deal process - marketing, diligence, negotiation, and execution. Emily’s experience across dozens of deals has equipped her with unparalleled foresight into what to expect in deal processes and exactly what and how to prepare at each critical juncture. Years later, she remained a friend to the company, providing advice in various areas of our business.", "Emily advised Connectifier on its sale to LinkedIn, an acquisition I helped lead while I was on the Corp Dev team at LinkedIn. Emily ran the process seamlessly - managing her client’s executive team, external lawyers, and advisors, and running diligence with her team, through negotiation and closing. I remain impressed with Emily’s ability to execute multiple deals simultaneously, while maintaining full command over every detail. In the community, Emily became known for her curated business functions, including concerts she co-hosted with Spotify and charity events to support local nonprofits. Her inclusion in any community creates a ripple effect and connections that otherwise never would have been formed.", and "Emily was the investment banker who advised me, my co-founder, and our Board of Directors on the sale of True&Co., to PVH (NYSE: PVH, owners of Calvin Klein). She negotiated directly with top PVH leadership and single-handedly ran a team of financial experts, lawyers, accountants, and tax specialists to drive the deal from start to close. I can confidently say that the deal would not have happened without Emily. Her vision, deal execution, and client commitment are unmatched. We specifically sought Emily out for my deal based on her reputation in the tech community. She is the top investment banker who elevates female-founded businesses through her coaching and advice. Emily has also advised several of my female founder peers on M&A negotiations and execution."
