M&A, valuation and private capital, from the deal table. Not from the sidelines.
I give keynotes, sit on panels and moderate sessions for professional bodies, investors and boards. Every talk comes from deals I have advised on, valued or given evidence about, so your audience leaves with what I would do in their seat.
The rooms I have been asked into. Each one is on the organiser's record.
Each line gives my role, the session and the date as the organiser listed them, newest first.

Three subjects, one per seat at the table. Shaped to your room.
What a company is worth.
How value is built and tested: intangible and IP value, the valuation standards, and why two advisers reach two numbers for the same business.
Deals that close and hold.
M&A from the first conversation to the integration: due diligence, cross-border deals in Southeast Asia, and where value leaks after the signing.
You fund what you recognise.
How investors read founders, why resemblance gets funded before evidence, and what a founder can show that an investor cannot ignore.
Formats: keynote, panel, moderated session, fireside chat or workshop.
Tell me about the room. I will tell you if I am the right voice for it.
The event, the date, the audience and the question you want them to leave answering.
Questions organisers ask.
Where do you speak?
I am based in Singapore. Recent stages include Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Bangkok, and I travel for the right room.
Why you on IP valuation?
I am on the IPOS List of Experts for IP valuation and the Joint WIPO–IPOS List of Experts in IP Valuation. I was appointed by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center as expert in a WIPO Expert Determination for IP Valuation in 2023.
Can you moderate rather than speak?
Yes. Moderating is often the better use of me: I have sat in the seats your panellists sit in, so I can press them on the substance.
What do you need from us?
The audience, the date, the format and the question you want the room to leave answering. The form above asks for each one.
