Kenny entered the world of banking in 2006 without any prior academic knowledge of accounting, finance and investment.
 
Although trained as a computer engineer, he drew most of his experience from working in investment banking, having spent most of his career at KPMG, Woori Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and BNP Paribas where he worked on various corporate finance deals spanning power & utilities, natural resources, consumer, manufacturing, renewable energy, technology, and other industry sectors.
​
After leaving the investment banking industry in 2016, Kenny co-founded Shanghai-based advisory and investment firm, IJK Capital Partners, focusing on catalysing cross-border M&A, capital raising and market entry opportunities between China and rest of the world.
​​​​
In 2018, he also started lecturing in an adjunct capacity. He is currently a non-faculty lecturer for the Singapore Management University's continuing and professional education arm (SMU Academy) and has since taught over 50 courses relating to business valuation, financial modelling and leveraged buyouts, guiding working professionals in navigating the "art" of corporate finance at the workplace.
​
In 2021, he moved to Hong Kong and currently leads international business efforts and offshore investor outreach for SY Holdings, a HK listed supply chain fintech platform.
​
He is currently based in Singapore but divides his time between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
