Endong Zhai

Endong is among the earliest China cross-border M&A deal makers, with more than 15 years of relevant experience. He is part of our Asia Access team based in London, leading China-related deal originations & executions across DC Advisory.

Endong has been present in the City and European M&A market since the emergence of Chinese M&A – and has pioneered China Europe cross-border deals as one of the rare earliest practitioners, serving many leading Chinese firms and European clients. Endong holds a PhD in Manufacturing and Engineering from Cambridge University.

He says: “Resonance with Chinese investors only comes with the true understanding of matters at both the macro level, and the very specific sub-sector levels. At DC, I’m able to leverage my deep-rooted China knowledge and a cross-border transaction toolkit from years of practicing, to manage the cultural / behavioural differences and make the deals happen.”
