CH PACIFIC GLOBAL NETWORK PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGY –
NETWORKED GLOBAL INVESTMENT BANKING ADVISE
CH Pacific’s philosophy of Global Networked Investment Banking has been greatly enabled by the revolutionary changes that have taken place in the converging worlds of multimedia, telecommunication and the internet. The Asia financial crisis in the late nineties followed first by the burst of the tech and the then the US housing bubble accompanied by major financial scandals during the first decade of the new millennium brought about sweeping changes in the investment banking industry worldwide. The accompanying disappearance of some and organizational restructuring in many large investment banks led to many a talented investment banker to be laid off.
CH Pacific has offered to those an extension of their professional career through an entrepreneurial involvement with CH Pacific’s networked global investment banking group. Early retired senior executives with many years of specific industry experience, representing a vast unused pool of expertise and skills, are increasingly discovering the attraction CH Pacific’s global network can offer them in their quest to associate themselves with a growing and prestigious international organization. CH Pacific aims at creating a unique blend of a global investment banking network comprised of both thoroughbred investment bankers as well as specific industry-focused and former investment banking client-side CEOs and CFOs with many years of experience in corporate mergers and acquisitions, divestments, buyouts and restructuring.
