Bain & Co appoints new Asia PE practice co-head

Bain & Company has named Sebastien Lamy, who has been with the firm for over 20 years and most recently focused on Asia infrastructure investment, as co-head of its regional private equity practice.
Lamy will continue to reside in Tokyo in his new position. He succeeds Melbourne-based Andrew Tymms, who has transitioned to a senior advisory role. Kiki Yang remains in place as the other co-head of the Asia private equity practice.
Having joined Bain in Paris in 2002, Lamy relocated to Asia in 2005 and led the firm’s Southeast Asia private equity consulting operation. He was recruited by Keppel Corporation in 2018 as head of group strategy, M&A, technology, and innovation, but returned to Bain two years later in Japan.
Lamy specializes in growth and portfolio strategy, fund strategy, M&A advisory and due diligence, and innovation, according to a statement.
“The scale and complexity of the private equity practice calls for a seasoned and well-respected leader such as Sebastien,” said Rebecca Burack, global head of private equity at Bain.
“The private equity practice will continue to be a power alley for us, with a shared mission, great commercial discipline, and cohesive teaming across the region. I am confident that Sebastien and Kiki will continue to bring the most-cutting edge best-of-Bain capabilities to our clients in Asia Pacific.”
