Blackpeak adds to Japan team
Blackpeak Group, an Asia-focused strategic advisor to corporate and investment clients, has appointed Kohtaro Miyagi as a senior consultant, based in Tokyo.
Miyagi recently retired from Canon Group where he spent most of his career. This included extended postings overseas in the Netherlands, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, and latterly as a board member with responsibility for Asian operations.
"It is a reflection of our continued growth in Asia that we can attract such an experienced and distinguished professional to work with us to develop our business in Japan," Jack Clode, co-founder of Blackpeak, said of the appointment.
The firm has further strengthened its presence in Tokyo with the appointment of Hsiang-Chien Hsu, an experienced risk consultant, who will also contribute to the Asian cross-border business practice.
In addition to Tokyo, Blackpeak has offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Singapore.
