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 started his career in finance at KPMG and subsequently at a Korean securities house, Standard Chartered Bank and BNP Paribas where he worked on corporate finance transactions spanning power & utilities, natural resources, consumer, manufacturing, renewable energy, technology, and various industry sectors.
​
After leaving the investment banking industry in 2016, Kenny co-founded Shanghai-based IJK Capital Partners, an investment and advisory firm where he was chiefly responsible for building its corporate access business from scratch.
​​​​
In 2018, he also started lecturing in an adjunct capacity. He is currently an affiliate faculty lecturer for the Singapore Management University's continuing and professional education arm (SMU Academy). He has since taught numerous courses relating to business valuation, financial modelling and leveraged buyouts, primarily guiding experienced professionals from non-finance backgrounds in navigating the practical aspects of M&A and corporate finance at the workplace.
​
In 2021 during the midst of the pandemic, he moved to Hong Kong to lead investor relations, capital raising and international business for SY Holdings (6069.HK), a Hong Kong mainboard listed supply chain platform.
​
He is currently based in Singapore and divides his time between various cities in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
