My experience includes working as a Research Analyst at a Global Macro hedge fund, covering Asia-Pacific institutional investors in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea as well as running West Coast Capital Introductions for Newedge Prime Brokerage Group, covering the Endowment, Pension and Foundation investment space of West Coast of the United States.\n\nFor the last six years, I have specialized in discussing hedge fund strategies with institutional investors, including:\n- Public and Corporate Pension Plans \n- Foundations\n- Endowments\n- Family Offices\n- Fund of Hedge Funds\n- Sovereign Wealth Funds\n\nMy direct regions of coverage have included:\n- Northern and Southern California\n- Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington)\n- Japan\n- Hong Kong\n- Singapore\n- Korea\n\nMy experience in Asia and the United States has given me a global network of relationships with institutional contacts in all parts of the globe, including Europe, Asia and the United States. I have organized capital introduction events in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore with investors and hedge fund managers coming from all over the globe to present and learn. I developed our West Coast relationships from scratch and grew the number of relationships we had in Asia. Furthermore, having worked at a hedge fund gives me the skills to intelligently discuss strategy and processes as well as convey complex investment strategies.
