Based in China, Wang will likely be a useful addition to the Invast Global team as he has worked in the investment banking industry itself.
“Alex brings a wealth of experience, having already worked with our management team at global Investment Banks previously,” said Invast Global. “He will be a valuable contributor to Invast Global’s growth throughout Asia.”
The move comes shortly after Invast Global held its annual meeting with its parent company – Invast Securities – in Japan. Following that meeting, Invast Global, which is based in Australia, said that it would be making several announcements in the near future. Whether or not Wang’s appointment is one of those is unclear.
