What’s a nice Norwegian banker like Rolf Wikborg doing in Hong Kong on the front line of a Chinese leasing company?

It’s a story with roots in the US and Mexico that led Wikborg to his current post as partner in SinoEnergy Capital Management almost a year ago.

Wikborg may be best known as the founder and first managing director of American Marine Advisors, the boutique investment bank he launched in New York in 1987.
