Based in the firm's new Hong Kong office, she will have responsibility for the placement of fund interests with Asian institutional investors and originating outstanding private equity funds for the Sixpoint platform. Tan was most recently managing director and head of China at Diamond Dragon. Before that she worked for New Access Capital, also in Shanghai.

"Her deep experience in capital raising in Asia and extensive network make her a strong addition to our distinguished team."
The appointment takes Sixpoint's total headcount to 20 across offices in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Hong Kong. The firm describes itself as a global investment bank that serves the middle-market private equity industry. Core areas of coverage include primary fund placement, secondaries advisory and co-investment placement.
