Reset
A structured rebuild for someone the industry is grinding down. I went through my own: a serious illness, a divorce, and the heaviest professional years of my life running an independent firm with no institution behind me. What worked wasn't a quick fix but an architecture, built deliberately over years. This is that process, compressed and adapted to you. Key components include, but are not limited to: - An honest inventory of what's actually breaking — sleep, health, relationships, motivation - Rebuilding the physical foundation, because in my experience nothing else holds without it - Boundaries that survive contact with this industry's hours and culture - Identity beyond the P&L, and what's left when performance is stripped out - Working through the professional decision underneath, if there is one - Between-session support by message throughout Note: I am not a therapist, and I will tell you plainly if I believe you need one. This works alongside licensed care, never in place of it.
What's included
- 12 weeks of tested practice rather than good intentions
- Distinguished the changes that hold under real pressure from the ones that only work on calm weeks
- Worked through what your identity rests on besides performance
- Worked through what your identity rests on besides performance
- A note I'd keep in the copy: this is coaching, not treatment, and I make no promises about clinical outcomes. What I can commit to is structure, honesty, and someone who understands your world

Life Coach for Finance Professionals — I've Sat in Your Seat and the Storm
I've spent twenty-plus years in Asian equities, in every seat the industry offers. Ten years on the sell side at CLSA in Tokyo and Hong Kong, ranked Asiamoney #1 best analyst in the region five years running. Five years inside hedge funds — running my own book as a portfolio manager at Horizon, and most recently as a senior analyst on a Japan market-neutral pod at Millennium. In between, five years independent as founder, CIO and head of alternative investments: I launched a hedge-fund allocation practice for family offices, conducting due diligence on 100+ managers, then co-founded an asset management firm and took it through SFC licensing as its Responsible Officer, growing it from a private-equity and real-estate shop into a multi-strategy alternatives platform. Today I also design and build agentic-AI research workflows for my own global-equities portfolio. Born and raised in Hong Kong, educated in England, and lived in Japan for a decade. Native English and Cantonese, fluent Mandarin and Japanese.
