Big-Deal Experience. Founder-First Mandate.

Selected Transactions

A selection of transactions advised by Lyndon Advisory founder Daniel Bae during 17 years in investment banking — at Citi, Moelis / MA Financial, and ANZ across London, Hong Kong, and Sydney. Lyndon Advisory was founded to bring that same rigour and buyer reach to founders and business owners running deals the bulge-bracket banks won't take.

Why This Track Record Matters

Built on big deals. Built for smaller ones.

These transactions are how Lyndon Advisory earned the right to run institutional-quality sale processes. But they are not who we were built for. Our passion is the owners and founders behind $5M–$100M businesses — the ones bulge-bracket banks decline and local brokers can't do justice.

The Experience

US$30bn+

Public mandates across Australia, Hong Kong, Europe, and Southeast Asia — advising bulge-bracket clients like Westfield, Swire, Bertelsmann, Ramsay, and Discovery.

  • Teams of 20+ analysts and associates
  • Cross-border M&A, IPOs, bonds, JVs, privatizations
  • Listed-company and institutional sellers

Our Focus

$5M – $100M

Founders, family businesses, and private owners selling what they've spent a lifetime building — the segment every bulge-bracket bank declines and every local broker under-serves.

  • Senior-led from first meeting to close
  • Institutional process rigour applied end-to-end
  • Same buyer reach that sold A$3.3bn of assets
“Every business owner deserves access to the same institutional-quality sale process that large listed companies receive. Lyndon Advisory exists to close that gap.”
Daniel Bae · Founder, Lyndon Advisory

Sector Breadth

Across every industry that matters in Asia Pacific

The transactions above span consumer, healthcare, education, industrials, energy, media, real estate, and financial services — giving Lyndon Advisory clients a deeply cross-sector perspective on value, buyer appetite, and process design.

The transactions above represent selected mandates Daniel Bae personally worked on in prior roles at Citi, Moelis / MA Financial, and ANZ. Named transactions are shown with their public consent or because the deals are a matter of public record. Transactions marked Proposed were mandated but did not complete. Lyndon Advisory is an independent firm and these transactions were not advised under the Lyndon Advisory name.

Bulge-bracket experience. On your deal.

Whether your business is worth $5M or $100M, every Lyndon Advisory engagement is led personally by Daniel from first meeting through to closing — with the same process rigour that ran A$12bn deals.
