I structure and execute cross-border debt investments, lending, and finance transactions across emerging markets.

Message

At Emerging Market Investments and BlueOrchard Finance Ltd, I structure, review, and negotiate cross-border debt investments, syndicated financings, SPV structures, secured lending, and hedging transactions across Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe.

I've led investment execution, coordinated legal due diligence and transaction closings in regulated markets, and advised on risk allocation, regulatory requirements, and enforceability. My earlier private-practice work at BLC Law Office covered banking and finance, M&A, corporate governance, labour matters, and commercial arbitration; I also teach introductory international commercial arbitration at Free University of Georgia.
