GHD enhances services for Chinese investors
02 February 2018
Leading global professional services company, GHD, has appointed Mengjie Qiu as Market Leader – Chinese Clients to support inbound investment into Australia.
Phil Duthie, GHD’s General Manager – Australia, says, “Mengjie will helps us grow and develop our services for clients who originate from China and are operating in the Australian market. She will also work with our team in Beijing and our people around the world to support Chinese clients in all countries where we operate.”
Mengjie says, “Aside from the language barrier and differences in the business culture, the biggest challenges facing Chinese clients are understanding Australian industry insights and processes, compliance and policies, rules and regulations. We can help achieve successful investment outcomes if we foster the right ‘Chinese connection and mindset’, supported by our extensive market knowledge and technical capabilities.”
Based in Brisbane, Mengjie was previously Director of the Chinese Services Group at Deloitte, taking a lead role in the provision of professional services to Chinese clients investing in Australia.
Prior to Deloitte, Mengjie had a 15 year career in the banking sector with the Bank of China, Westpac, ABN AMRO Bank, ANZ and China Construction Bank, both in Australia and China.
GHD has extensive experience serving Chinese clients in Australia, including providing a comprehensive range of services for Shenhua's proposed Watermark coal project in New South Wales.
According to the American Enterprise Institute, the combined value of China’s investment and construction activities in Australia from 2005 to 2017 exceeds US100 billion. Australia is the second-largest destination for Chinese investment, behind the United States.
