Having previously held a role as Head of Strategy and M&A for one of Southeast Asia’s largest Corporate Venture Build funds, Kevin brings a deep understanding of deal making to North Ridge Partners. With experience successfully completing many capital raises, and leading multiple exits across a portfolio that spanned Southeast Asia, Kevin is also at home in the trenches with portfolio CEO’s, guiding them through pivots, creating actionable business plans and packaging their vision for the portfolio’s LPs and future investors.

Kevin is able to straddle the divide between Founder and Investor with ease, and smoothly navigate complex (and at times conflicting) priorities of stakeholders, assess, advise and prioritise multi-faceted strategies and decision proposals, all whilst project-managing a transaction to the desired outcome.

“The consistent theme in my career has been to treat people well, understand their core concerns, and find the intersections of their needs and my network and/or expertise.”

Outside the office, you’re as likely to find Kevin on his road bike smashing out an early morning Singapore RTI (round the island) as you are to find him sitting in a café, drafting ideas for his next novel.
