Who We Are

Alexander, founded Panache Management a decade ago in Hong Kong. At that time, a majority of his clients were looking toward the Japanese market as it was a prime target market for foreign companies.

He has been based in Asia since 1990, with Japan being his first base of business activity for nearly a decade. During this time Alex has been deeply involved in “east meets west” management matters. He became a true specialist in this field and was a member on the top management teams of the Japan-Central Asia Business Association under the helm of the ex-Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Toshiki Kaifu.

He served on the board of directors of Brinks Japan, the joint venture between Nissho Iwai Corporation (at that time the sixth largest company in the world) and Brinks Inc (a Fortune500 US corporation, traded on NYSE), Brinks Korea and Vietnam. He served as a personal advisor to the managing director of Kanebo Corp, a consultant to NED (Nippon Enterprise Development, at the time the world’s largest Venture Capital company, based in Tokyo) and many others.

Alex holds an MBA degree from Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University, IL., USA) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
