Quantuma appoints new lead for its international business
Cross-border advisory firm Quantuma has today announced its appointment of Luke Furler as the leader of its international business.
Mr. Furler joined Quantuma in 2022 to establish the firm’s Asia operations and has developed an enviable position as a market leading boutique in the region with highly experienced teams operating from its offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Malaysia. His main responsibility will be to focus on driving greater connectivity between the firm’s Far East operations with its Caribbean operations in Cayman and BVI.
The firm’s international business also includes operations in Cyprus and a joint venture with a leading practice in Mauritius, which has adopted the firms branding.
Mr Furler is currently interim liquidator of City Credit Investment Bank Limited, of Labuan, Malaysia, which has operations across multiple jurisdictions in Asia, the Caribbean and Cyprus. He is also liquidator of MTBL Global Fund together with Patrick Sarkowski in Quantuma’s Cayman office, a Cayman Islands incorporated fund with its major asset being its 39.8% equity holding in a Singapore listed company.
Mr Furler is engaged on multiple appointments spanning our international offices together with our leaders in each jurisdiction, including acting as director to a Cyprus incorporated hospitality business and director of an England-headquartered leading international service provider to the energy industry that is undergoing a complex global restructuring.
Speaking of his new appointment, Mr Furler said: “I am very pleased to be taking on this new role as we align our international operations to better serve the requirements, resources and multi-disciplinary skillsets demanded by the increasingly complex cross-border matters we are being asked to act on.
In recognition of his contribution and development into a leader in the insolvency market in APAC, I am delighted to announce the promotion Joffrey Tan to Managing Director who will assume leadership of operations in Singapore.
We were recently joined by Brian Wong in Hong Kong which will see further investment in the short term, to further strengthening our team there with the addition of a further senior hire in the coming months.
Operations in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam are led by Jia Rong Oh who, along with Joffrey Tan, will also assume responsibility for operations in newly established offices in Kuala Lumpur and Labuan, Malaysia.
Constantinos Ioannou and Andrew Andronikou continue to lead our Cypriot operations where the team continue to be highly regarded by the institutional lending community for their advanced trading and turnaround capabilities of distressed businesses in both domestic and offshore markets.
In the BVI we look forward to welcoming a new senior hire in the coming months who will complement our existing teams in the Caribbean. And finally in the first quarter of 2025 we will be joined by a managing director in London who will play a lead role in the London markets and complete our international leadership team.”
