About Ivan Woods

I've worked internationally all my career: since 2000 based in Hong Kong, Dubai and now Singapore, after qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in London with PWC.I lead Stepping Stone’s Singapore team and act as “outsourced CFO” for SMEs in a number of sectors, backed by our awesome accounting and compliance teams across six countries.Prior to this I was an investment banker, for global institutions such as World Bank and HSBC as well as consulting for the C-suite and for clients’ finance or transaction teams. This was mostly in infrastructure finance - advising and lending to developers, investors and governments across Asia, the Middle East and Europe - as well as some VC/PE fundraising transactions. Over my career I've helped to win and close deals from $1m venture capital investments to $15bn infrastructure projects.
