After graduating from Tsinghua, he entered China’s private equity industry, first joining GIC-backed CDH Investments from 2010 to 2016, before moving to Hillhouse Capital from 2016 to 2017, where he reported directly to founder and well-known investor Zhang Lei.
Few figures illustrate the intersection of East and West quite like HOPU Investments’ president, Gunther Hamm. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 2002, he began his career in finance as an investment banking analyst at JPMorgan.
In 2007, as signs of the global financial crisis emerged, Hamm moved to China to study at Tsinghua University, the alma mater of President Xi Jinping and one of the country’s leading institutions.
