Independent Operating Partner · Asia-Pacific
Embedded operating leadership for PE-backed and international businesses across Asia-Pacific.
The operator brought in when a platform must be built, an acquisition must be integrated, or a regional operation must perform.
20+
years operating in Asia
8
entities integrated simultaneously
Both sides
of the deal — founder who sold, executive who integrated
When to call Kynsen.
We've acquired a company in Asia and integration is stalling.
Our APAC expansion has a plan but no one senior on the ground.
The regional business is underperforming and the board wants ownership, not analysis.
We're a family office taking a direct stake and need operating eyes on the business.
I'm the bottleneck — the business must be ready for its next owner.
Kynsen works across sectors, and is deepest in multi-entity, people-intensive services businesses — corporate services, professional services, compliance and outsourcing — where integration is a people problem before it is a systems problem.

The Founder
Miguel Latorre
Founder & Managing Partner
Operating Partner — APAC Integration, Expansion & Value Creation
Miguel bridges the gap between strategy and operational reality. He has spent over twenty years operating in Asia — Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and wider APAC — working with investors, boards, CEOs and regional leadership teams where execution risk is high, and where progress must be visible in monthly operating and board reviews.
Eight entities, integrated simultaneously
Led the simultaneous integration of eight acquired entities in Hong Kong ahead of a successful PE-backed transaction — teams, offices, systems, reporting and governance unified into one platform without losing momentum, clients or key people.
Both sides of the deal
Founded and sold a corporate services business into an international platform — then led its integration from the inside, and spent years integrating businesses other founders had sold. Founder pressure and institutional expectations, understood from the inside.
Regional P&L and leadership ownership
Held senior regional leadership roles with commercial and operational accountability across multiple APAC markets. Not an advisor observing the business — an operator who has carried the number.
Services
Two ways to engage. One accountable operator.
Each engagement is structured around a defined mandate, measurable outcomes, and a clear accountability framework.
Operating Partner Retainer
Embedded senior operating leadership on a defined mandate — three to five owned outcomes, a six-month initial term, and a high-intensity first 90 days.
- Portfolio operations, integration and value creation
- Embedded and interim executive leadership (CEO, COO, Regional MD)
- APAC build-out and regional expansion
- Pre-exit operational readiness and value-creation execution
Scoped Mandate
A defined programme with fixed scope, milestones and deliverables — beginning, where useful, with a four-week Operating Diagnostic.
- Operating Diagnostic and 100-day execution plan
- APAC entry blueprint and operating-model design
- Market operational stand-up, single or multi-market
- Integration programme leadership
- Operational due diligence
