The Founders

Kenneth KC WONG

Mr. K. Wong has nearly 30 years of all-rounded experience as an investment banker, PE investor, C-suite officer and entrepreneur, being extensively involved in corporate finance / operations.
As an investment banker from 1995 to 2000, Mr. Wong was involved in transactions with total value >US$38Bn.

From 2002 to 2008, Mr. Wong was CFO of PRC A-share listed Topsun Pharmaceutical / SVP of the Topsun Group. Notable achievements include:

  • Acquired two national pharmaceutical jewels, Yunnan Baiyao and Shanxi Guangyuyuan
  • Successfully disposed of Qidong Gaitianli (Topsun’s subsidiary) to Bayer (Germany), which was the first major pharmaceutical cross-border M&A deal in the PRC and was also then the largest transaction in PRC’s private sector

Mr. Wong founded the Keen Vision Group in 2008, mainly involved in PE investments.

Jason WONG

Mr. J. Wong currently serves as the founder and Chairman of Norwich Capital. Since 2014, Mr. J. Wong has been involved in the initiation of SPACs in the US and is one of the earliest participants from Asia in SPAC listings. As of now, Mr. J. Wong has been a leading figure in the number of SPACs initiated in the Asia region, with several of them successfully completing de-SPAC processes, earning him the title of “Asia’s SPAC Godfather” in the media (including Bloomberg) and the SPAC industry. One of the SPACs he was involved in was awarded the Best IPO Project in 2014 by an international M&A magazine, and he initiated the first Asia-based SPAC to acquire a domestic US biopharmaceutical company.

After the introduction of SPAC listing regulations in Hong Kong, Mr. J. Wong also participated in the initiation of the first batch of Hong Kong SPACs, making him an advocate for transforming Hong Kong into the “Asian SPAC hub”.

Mr. J. Wong is also a special guest and columnist for several well-known financial and economic media outlets.

Norwich Capital, as led by Mr. J. Wong, is one of the very few Asian teams in the market with successful track records in both US and Hong Kong SPAC initiation and de-SPAC processes.
