Investment & Trade Connector · China's Blue Economy
I help international investors, funds, and trading houses navigate China's US$1.5 trillion marine economy — from deal sourcing and due diligence to structured facilitation and long-term advisory.
I spent 10 years at Zhonghai Trust — the trust arm of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) — as an investment manager in the Industrial Finance division. There, I structured and closed financing for marine equipment manufacturers, offshore oil & gas service providers, and platform engineering companies across the CNOOC supply chain.
Before that, I was an industry analyst at Changjiang Securities covering petrochemicals, shipping, steel, and upstream commodities — building the macro-to-micro analytical lens I still use today.
I hold a Master of Finance from Monash University and a dual Bachelor's in Economics & Sociology from the University of Arizona. I'm fluent in Chinese and English, with CFA Level I, fund and securities qualifications, and working proficiency in Python.
Today, I operate independently — a one-person bridge between global capital and China's marine frontier. No bureaucracy. No institutional overhead. Just deep knowledge, a curated network, and a genuine commitment to ocean stewardship.
10 financing projects totaling ¥150M+, covering marine equipment, offshore platforms, oilfield services, and new energy.
Core team member for China's first CCER (carbon credit) service trust — pioneering a new financial product category.
Independently completed due diligence and financing design for 30+ companies in the CNOOC marine supply chain.
Led company-wide ESG framework development, and founded two green charitable trusts — including a mangrove conservation project.
Grounded in real transactions, not desk research. These are segments where I have hands-on project experience and verified relationships.
Subsea production systems, wellhead equipment, drilling platforms, and specialized offshore engineering — my deepest domain.
Shipyards, marine engineering contractors, equipment OEMs, and the industrial supply chains that support them.
Offshore wind, floating solar, and integrated energy stations — sectors I invested in directly at Zhonghai Trust.
Structured financing solutions for marine supply chain companies — order-based lending, working capital, and growth capital design.
Carbon credit instruments, ESG advisory, ocean conservation-linked finance — I built these products, not just studied them.
Autonomous underwater vehicles, marine robotics, smart ocean sensors, and the venture-backed frontier of ocean tech.
Real deals. Real companies. Real outcomes.
Led financing for China's first company to independently develop and manufacture subsea wellhead & Christmas tree systems. Their equipment achieved historic first production in Bohai Bay with CNOOC. Full-cycle project management: due diligence, credit committee approval, and post-loan monitoring.
Core member of the team that designed, structured, and launched the country's first carbon credit service trust — an industry-first financial product that opened a new asset class for trust-based carbon trading.
Independently conducted full financial due diligence on 30+ companies across the CNOOC marine supply chain — from offshore platform maintenance contractors to specialized equipment fabricators. Designed bespoke financing structures for each.
Founded two public-benefit trust projects: a rural zero-carbon community development trust, and a mangrove conservation trust aligned with national ecological restoration goals. ESG isn't a checkbox for me — it's something I've built.
Business and stewardship go hand in hand. This is my commitment.
For every successful deal I facilitate — whether an investment, a trade introduction, or an advisory engagement — I donate a meaningful portion of my fees to marine conservation organizations.
This isn't a marketing gimmick. Before I started this advisory practice, I founded two green charitable trusts at CNOOC: one focused on mangrove ecosystem protection, the other on rural near-zero-carbon communities. Ocean stewardship is part of who I am.
When we do business together, the ocean wins too.
Donation triggered on deal close — transparent, verifiable, and built into every engagement letter.
Priority support for mangrove restoration, coral reef protection, and sustainable fisheries programs.
Annual disclosure: total donations made and oceans protected — because accountability matters.
Clients are invited to join — co-branded conservation contributions available for institutional partners.
Flexible engagement models. You're not hiring a firm — you're working directly with me.
I identify, pre-screen, and introduce you to Chinese marine companies that fit your investment or sourcing criteria — leveraging a network built over a decade inside the CNOOC ecosystem.
On-the-ground verification: factory visits, management interviews, financial analysis, local reference checks. I've done this 30+ times — I know what to look for and what's being hidden.
From term sheet to close — I design deal architecture, bridge cultural gaps, provide real-time bilingual mediation, and keep both sides aligned through the finish line.
Deep-dive research on marine sub-sectors, regulatory trends, competitive landscapes, and policy signals — informed by years tracking China's ocean economy from the inside.
Carbon credit structuring, ESG framework design, sustainability-linked financing — I've actually built these products, so the advice comes from experience.
A permanent ear on the ground. Monthly briefings, deal flow alerts, and on-call advisory for funds, family offices, and trading houses building a China marine strategy.
A brief message is all it takes. I'll respond within 24 hours — typically faster. No obligation, no hard pitch. Just a conversation about whether I can help.
