WHO ARE WE?
Joe Horn-Phathanothai founded Strategy613 in 2000. The company provides blue-chip corporates with strategic advice relating to their cross-border investments, with a particular focus on Thailand and China. Joe and his mother, Sirin Phathanothai, have maintained close relationships with decision-makers and leaders in both countries over several decades. On the back of this special relationship, Strategy613 has been able to deliver unique insight and tailor-made solutions to its clients. Our experienced team and boutique approach ensures that each client has our fullest attention at all times during the transaction, and even after completion.
OUR SERVICES
Many of our clients do not decide on day one what type of expansion they wish to undertake when entering China or Thailand. Should one acquire a competitor or a supplier? Should one partner with a local firm? Should one build out a branch network? Should one go national, or just focus on a region? Which product mix is best suited for the local market? At Strategy613 we can help guide you in making these decisions, and then follow through to helping you implement your preferred strategy. We have extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with the financial and operational requirements associated with transactions in Asia. As an exclusive advisory firm, we provide a fully customised solution to each of our clients.
