Kaia spent two decades inside institutional finance from investment banking, multi-asset hedge funds with a focus on private credit, to asset management, and most recently as Chief Investment Officer at a Singapore fintech.
Today she works as an independent consultant and market strategist. She advises asset managers and fintech operators on investment strategy and execution, works with a MAS-licensed fund platform, hosts the Beyond Beta with Kaia podcast, and appears regularly on CNBC, Al Jazeera, Asharq Business, Bloomberg, Sky News Arabia, and TRT World.
She left the corporate track in 2018 because she could no longer do hard work that wasn't meaningful work. This is what came next.

Kaia speaks on financial markets, AI in finance, capital raising, career architecture, and the parts of the industry that don't make it into the official version.
Her sessions are direct, specific, and built for rooms that want substance over polish for keynotes, panels, moderated discussions, fireside conversations.
Recent and recurring engagements: iFX EXPO (moderated and spoke), Money2020, fintech and asset management forums across Singapore, Dubai and Bangkok, and regular financial-television panel appearances.

Independent advisory for asset managers, fintechs, and operators who need senior judgement without a full time hire.
Engagement areas: investment strategy, fund operations, capital raising, market entry into Asia and the Gulf, AI implementation in financial services, and the operational architecture behind running a credible firm.
Senior advisory only. No coaching, no junior consulting, no template decks.
Keynote speaker, panellist and moderator on a number of topics from AI and financial markets to capital raising and business strategy.
Talking on a wide range of topics from AI, financial markets, raising capital, strategic leadership and business but also career management.
Regular guest on channels like Al Jazeera, CNBC, Asharq Business, Bloomberg, TRT World and more.
The Saturday note. One unfiltered finance read a week.
