Jason Wong, Founder and Chairman of Norwich, has over 30 years of capital market experience, with a proven track record in fund investment, cross-border M&A, value creation, and project exits.

Since 2014, he has been among the earliest participants in U.S. SPAC sponsorship, making him one of Asia’s most active SPAC sponsors. Many of the SPACs he has sponsored have successfully completed de-SPAC transactions, which earned him the nickname “Asia’s SPAC Godfather” from leading business media and industry insiders.

Earlier in his career, Jason held senior roles at Transpac Huiya Capital, one of Asia’s largest early-stage fund managers and the first institutional investor in Alibaba. From 1988 to 2005, Transpac managed 14 funds with US$820 million AUM, investing in over 200 companies, of which more than 60 went public — including Alibaba, China.com, Tingyi (Master Kong), Want Want, Hsu Fu Chi, and Acer. As a founding partner, he co-launched the Whiz Asia Evolution Fund with Japan’s Whiz Partners Inc., focusing on Japanese SMEs with technology leadership and Asia expansion potential. He also helped initiate the Sony China Hero Project Fund, the first RMB fund dedicated to China’s console and VR gaming industry, co-founded with Sony Interactive Entertainment China.

Following the launch of Hong Kong’s SPAC regime, Jason participated in its first batch of SPACs and was elected SPAC Committee Chair of the Hong Kong Institute of Financial Analysts and Professional Commentators (IFAPC). He has since been a vocal advocate of SPAC 2.0, with the vision of positioning Hong Kong as Asia’s SPAC hub.
