Asia Pacific placement veteran Edward Greene is launching Diamond Dragon Advisors, Asia’s first locally headquartered private equity placement agent and advisory firm with a global reach, with offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and soon to open in Sydney, with a total of eight staff to date.

Drawing on his experience as the founder of the Shanghai presence for his former firm CP Eaton, Greene will lead Diamond Dragon as Chairman from Hong Kong, serving both Asian and Western GPs, and developing deep local relationships with the emerging Asian LPs. Diamond Dragon additionally has a global alliance for worldwide execution with Threadmark LLP in Europe and Madison Williams & Co. in North America, both founded by former CP Eaton personnel.

Dennis Montecillo, formerly with Morgan Stanley and the family office of the Ayala Group in the Philippines, has also joined as CEO and Senior MD. Linda Lee, formerly a co-founder and CFO with Kathy Xu at Capital Today, joins as Diamond Dragon's CFO, with Joan Tan, formerly with Shanghainese PE-focused corporate advisory firm New Access Capital, as MD in Shanghai. Alex Edwards, a former colleague at CP Eaton, will head up the firm’s Sydney office as MD.
