Jian is a Partner and Geomarket Head for Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. He helps clients navigate the strategic, geopolitical and operational risks that shape decision-making in one of the world's most dynamic markets.
Clients approach Jian seeking to grow revenue and capture opportunity in an environment where the risk landscape is shifting fast – and they want a partner who can help them stay resilient.
Jian advises on geopolitical and macro risk, industry and competitive intelligence, counterparty due diligence, and capital-markets-related risk, and clients appreciate his rigour, practicality and forward-looking view. His client base is concentrated across financial institutions, multinational corporates and professional services firms, particularly leading investment banks advising on pre-IPO due diligence, and multinational corporates with cross-border investments.
Recent engagements include:
- Delivering a board-level briefing for a major Chinese mining group on the medium-term macro and industry risk-and-opportunity outlook, informing strategic capital allocation across geographies
- Presenting to the board of an international higher-education NGO, on the geopolitical considerations reshaping cross-border university partnerships and student mobility
- Building a proactive banking counterparty risk monitoring framework for a financial institution, providing early warning on credit, regulatory and reputational events
- Leading industry-chain mapping and supply-chain risk monitoring for multinational clients managing tariff, sanctions and disruption exposure
Jian came to advisory work through the client side of risk, and that perspective shapes his approach. He is adept at translating Control Risks' geopolitical and operational expertise into insight that fits the way Hong Kong-based investors and operators make decisions.
Jian holds a PhD in Finance, an Executive MBA (Dean's List), an MSc in Finance, a BSc in International Finance and a Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF). He is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma and has published research on corporate governance. Alongside his native Mandarin and Cantonese, he speaks English.
