Eddie started his career in an education institution and subsequently worked in business development where he was in charge of assessing potential acquisition targets. Subsequently, he worked in 2 of the 4 largest business services firms globally (Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers) and in a Malaysian investment bank.
Through his experience in business development, consultancy and banking, he has helped clients perform numerous feasibility and bankability assessments for infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects.

For projects further down the development progress, he has helped to structure them into bankable projects and raised financing for them.

He has assessed potential targets in many sector, for example, retailing, food & beverage, manufacturing and logistics.
