Bio
Gregory V.
I had the great pleasure of working with Ivan as part of the Business Advisory team in HSBC’s US Private Bank. Ivan and I worked together on several initiatives to improve operational systems and processes through technology enhancements to create a better client experience. Not only does Ivan understand the IT and operational aspects of business, but he always keeps in mind how those aspects could potentially impact clients. Specifically, I worked with Ivan on a large initiative to improve client tax data. In order to illustrate current and future state, Ivan put together a wonderfully designed PowerPoint that easily displayed the ways systems and clients were impacted. It was so well done that information from that deck was ultimately used to communicate potential changes to executive management. During our time together as colleagues, I saw Ivan manage many different projects. Many would lose their cool handling so many complicated matter, but Ivan always maintained his composure and always acted professionally. Above all, Ivan is a true gentleman and respectful to his coworkers. I hope to have the pleasure of working with Ivan again one day. He will certainly be successful and will be an asset to whatever company he works for.

Ivan (Chen-Ping) has been a fantastic addition to the Blu Venture Investors team. Ivan's work product, reliability, persistence, hard work, problem solving, positive attitude, tact, and overall level of engagement gave me no choice but to look for ever-increasing ways to integrate him into the operations of our firm. He was a pleasure to have on the team.
