Bio
Faye Ryan
I first met Evan when he was President of the asset management division at Lehman Brothers in Tokyo. Later Evan and I had a close working relationship during his tenure in the alternative investments division of Merrill Lynch in Tokyo . Evan’s ability to coordinate the needs of and communicate effectively with investors, management and service providers made him a great client. Evan has an extensive knowledge of the asset management industry, speaks fluent Japanese and his appreciation of the Japanese culture enables him to deftly bridge the differences that sometimes arise when western and eastern cultures meet in a business setting. Evan has demonstrated to me his expertise in project management and fund structuring and, consolidating these experiences in the alternatives industry and structured products space, now provides corporate governance to funds. Evan has a well-honed sense of humor and impressive intellect and is a pleasure to work with.
