BOB PARTRIDGE

Retired Senior Partner

EY

Bob “re-wired” by retiring from EY in 2016 and since spends his time consulting on board-level matters to corporations and private equity firms, while taking on selected director roles. Bob, who resides in Hong Kong, also serves as an expert on fraud matters and in arbitration disputes arising from Asia Pacific transactions.

Bob established EY’s Transaction and Private Equity practices across Asia, having led both for 15+ years. During this time he also served on regional and global EY management boards, while also providing company boards and management teams with strategic advice on making, maximizing and divesting investments across Asia, and the importance of strong corporate governance. He has worked with over half of the Dow Jones 30 companies and has been involved in many landmark China/Asian transactions and Chinese overseas transactions. 

Bob’s industry experience is diverse. He is a frequent speaker on the challenges of investing across China/Asia, Chinese companies “going out,” private equity firms investing across China/Asia and board-level corporate governance.

Bob is a certified public accountant (California, USA). In his free time, Bob is a dog fanatic (and on the board of Hong Kong Dog Rescue) and loves paragliding, skydiving, hiking and simply being outdoors.
