About Stephen Walsh

I have served as an experienced executive leader in Sales, Information Technology, M&A, Marketing, Operations, and Finance in the APAC region. My expertise lies in leading commercial and technical solution teams, driving complex Managed Services strategic sales that align with clients' Performance Optimisation and Digital Transformation journey. I am well-versed in KYC/CDD, regulatory reporting and cyber services leveraging technologies such as AI and Cloud to achieve exceptional outcomes for my clients. I have successfully structured and negotiated over $3 billion USD worth of sourcing, contracting, and acquisition activities across the Asia Pacific region. I bring a unique perspective to the table, having extensive experience on both the buyer and seller side, having served as the business owner and vendor. This diverse background has honed my strategic thinking, contract management, and negotiation skills, enabling me to navigate complex business landscapes with ease. I currently hold the position of KPMG Global Managed Services Leader for ASPAC and Commercial Director at KPMG Managed Services Hong Kong/China. I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (FCMA) and have earned a Master of Information Systems from Curtin University, Australia. I am the current Chairperson of Hong Kong Branch Committee for the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. Beyond my professional endeavors, I pursue a passion for Italian wine and photography. I especially enjoy escaping the digital world when using black & white film with my fully manual vintage Olympus rangefinder camera.
