I am an experienced cross-border finance executive with proven ability to lead/manage the financial, strategic planning, and administrative functions for middle-market companies. My expertise includes (i) capital raising, (ii) corporate banking and leveraged lending, (iii) M&A, (iv) strategic planning, (v) financial planning & analysis, (vi) treasury, and (vii) risk management.My strength is in capital raising and middle-market M&A, gained through my diverse background in financial services, start-up technology companies, and luxury cruise lines. I was a co-founder of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, where we successfully raised hundreds of millions of equity and bank financing for a new startup cruise line. Previously as CFO of Silversea Cruises, I completed three sale-leaseback transactions raising hundreds of millions of financing and one acquisition of a small cruise line. During my early career at Credit Suisse, JPMorgan and RBC Capital Markets, I completed seven syndicated credit facilities, two HY bond offerings, four M&A transactions and twelve IPO and secondary offerings.I have a global perspective, both professionally and personally. I have managed complex international organizations operating in multiple legal and tax jurisdictions and under different accounting and HR regimes. I was born in Shanghai and grew up in New York. My professional career took me from New York to San Francisco, London, Monaco and now Miami. I am a native speaker in English and Mandarin and have conversational fluency in Italian. I like making new professional acquaintances. Please contact me if I can help in any way.
