Angelo J.Y. Koo currently serves as Chairman of CDIB Capital Group, Chairman and CEO of its subsidiary CDIB Capital, Chairman of CDF Foundation and Chairman of KGI Charity Foundation.
Prior to joining CDIB Capital Group, Angelo became President of KGI Securities (Taiwan) in 1996 and established KGI Securities (Hong Kong) in 1997, and within eight
years (1996-2004), KGI Securities ’market capitalization had grown rapidly by around seven times and asset size by over 20 times, while also successfully bringing to completion the daunting challenge of integrating KGI Securities’ Pan-Asia deployment. During 2004-09, he served as President of China Development Financial Holding Corporation (CDF) and Chairman of China Development Industrial Bank, striking a balance between the development and internationalization of investment, securities, banking and other businesses. Under his leadership, CDF evolved from a company focused on domestic venture capital investment into a regional leader in direct investment, with a focus on growth capital and buyout financing. The group’s business footprint has expanded from the headquarters in Taipei to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai and New York, laying a solid foundation for the future development of CDF.
Angelo holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a B.A from Northwestern University.
