What we do

Senior thinking. Practical momentum.

Technology, management and investment were our three founding disciplines. In 2026 they have become five capabilities — delivered by one senior team, so the strategy, the system and the capital line up.

Strategy & Transformation

We help leaders understand where to play and how to win in turbulent markets — then make the change stick. Success comes from integrating people, business and technology; sustained advantage comes from combining them well.

Corporate and growth strategy
Market, marketing and sales strategy
Operating model and organisation design
Transformation roadmaps and governance
Corporate finance and business planning
Organisational change management
Process excellence: Six Sigma, lean and quality
Risk analysis and management

Our aim is top-line and bottom-line impact — drawing on a network of global practitioners and industry insight, and a record of designing and implementing management practice for clients around the world.

Technology & Architecture

From boardroom to codebase. We align technology with business priorities, modernise the platforms that run the enterprise, and provide CTO-level leadership when it matters most.

Technology strategy, product and platform roadmaps
Enterprise, application and system architecture
Legacy and platform modernisation
Cloud, data and infrastructure
System integration and delivery assurance
Technology due diligence
Fractional CTO and CTO transition
Engineering organisation design and scaling

Our Founder, Nan Yang, led a global matrix of more than 1,000 architects and engineers at Sun Microsystems, and our technologists have built reusable enterprise frameworks and centres of excellence, and designed core banking platforms, trading engines, APIs and government systems.

AI & Agentic Engineering

AI creates value when it is engineered into the way work actually gets done. We take organisations from AI ambition to governed, production-grade systems — and build AI-native software ourselves.

AI strategy and use-case portfolio
AI-native and agentic software engineering
Data and machine-learning platforms
AI governance, quality and trust
Agentic workflows and decision support
AI engineering capability building

Hands-on, not theoretical: a Cyberport-funded machine-learning robo-advisor in 2018, and today ConexOS — an AI-native platform of 330,000+ lines of code, built with agentic engineering, governed CI/CD and automated testing.

Capital & Investment

Investment advisory has been a cornerstone of Yang Brothers since 2012. We bring the rare combination of deal experience and technical depth — so capital goes to what will actually work.

Fund-raising advisory: investor identification, business plans, materials and execution
M&A advisory, buy side and sell side
Deal sourcing, valuation, structuring and negotiation
Technology and commercial due diligence
Venture building and co-investment
Cross-border investment between China and international markets

Our CEO, Dr. Tan Yang, has led more than US$5 billion of cross-border M&A, including China’s largest cross-border healthcare acquisitions, and works with private equity firms, investment banks, sovereign wealth funds, insurers, university endowments and funds of funds.

Global Markets

We connect people, platforms and capital across East, West and emerging markets — with the local insight to make an entry succeed and the relationships to make it last.

Market entry: China, Asia, the Americas, Europe and Africa
Strategic partnerships and joint ventures
Government and regulatory engagement
Cross-border trade and supply chains
Delivery and R&D capacity in China
Africa market development through Africa Next

Our team has advised governments, represented global technology firms in China, and worked with international bodies from the United Nations to the African Union.

How we work

One senior team, aligned to the outcome.

The best answer is rarely a technology answer alone. Our people bring boardroom judgement and technical depth to the same conversation, so the constraint is found sooner and the decision holds.

Advisory assignments

Focused work on a decision: strategy, architecture review, due diligence or market entry.

Fractional leadership

Experienced CTO, strategy and board-level leadership, full-time or fractional.

Transformation programmes

Senior oversight and hands-on delivery through a multi-year change.

Venture & investment partnerships

Co-building and co-investing in ventures where technology is the edge.
