That’s a wrap on M&A in Asia 2026!
To bring our conference sessions to a close, we saved one of the most compelling conversations for last: “Women Leading the Next Generation of M&A.”
Across the Asia-Pacific region, the dealmaking environment is evolving rapidly against a backdrop of shifting regulatory frameworks, tech transformation, and macroeconomic complexity. Today, female leaders are not just participating in this transformation—they are driving it. From originating complex cross-border transactions to setting new standards for post-merger integration, women are fundamentally reshaping the regional finance landscape.
Our final panel went far beyond high-level commentary, delivering candid, battle-tested perspectives on:
  • Navigating High-Stakes Complexity: Tactical playbooks for managing cross-border friction, regulatory hurdles, and evolving valuation multiples in an unpredictable market.
  • Resilient Leadership: Proven approaches to building and mentoring high-performance transaction teams that thrive under the pressure of compressed deal timelines.
  • Driving Cultural & Strategic Shifts: Why diverse perspectives at the negotiating table consistently unlock better deal outcomes, deeper diligence, and more sustainable long-term value.
A massive thank you to our exceptional panel for their candid insights and visionary leadership:
  • Valerie Tay (Moderator) – Counsel, Addleshaw Goddard
  • Mandy Wong – Global Strategic Advisor, Investment Banking Services & Strategic M&A Advisory, MergersCorp
  • Josephine Hong – Partner, Head of Valuations, Grant Thornton Singapore
  • Therese Trulsen – Partner, Wikborg Rein Singapore
  • Tina Tejwaney – Executive Director M&A, Standard Chartered Bank
Thank you as well to every delegate, speaker, and partner who joined us this year. Closing out on such an inspiring, forward-looking note reminds us of the strength and dynamic future of dealmaking in this region.
