Andy advises both listed and private companies on ESG strategies, sponsors and lenders around project finance due diligence, and buyers and sellers regarding risk mitigation in M&A transactions. With close to 20 years of prior experience in transaction, corporate and investment banking, Andy also collaborates with banks in Southeast Asia to co-develop their sustainable investment and finance frameworks (e.g. Sustainable Trade and Supply Chain Finance, Sustainability-linked Deposits, etc.), provides senior-level executive training, and oversees major green, social, and sustainability-linked second-party opinion projects for their clients (e.g. PT SMI, UOB SAGE program, Keppel Corp, etc.).

Before pivoting to sustainability, Andy’s last role as a fixed income, currency and commodity advisor / dealer in a major global bank also enables him to uniquely layer robust commercial acumen into his current ESG advisory engagements.

He was also a GRI Certified Sustainability Professional and a PRI Advanced Responsible Investment Analysis holder.
