Les Baquiran, Founder at Alpine Capital Advisors "Building Relationships and Connections"

Our guest for today's podcast is Les Baquiran, Founder of Alpine Capital Advisors, a leading placement agent that advises and raises assets for asset managers and businesses. Les is well known in the industry and, during the early months of the COVID pandemic in 2020, launched the Alpine Annual Asian Leaders in Investment virtual summit that has taken place the last two years in honor of Asian Awareness Month and in the support of UNICEF.   I found Les to be particularly insightful and humble and a real master at cultivating and building relationships.  Les takes us through his professional career before launching his own independent placement agent firm after having great success at Park Hill.  Throughout the podcast, Les shares valuable advice on how he has been able to navigate the business of finance to become a true role model for the AAPI community.   Without further ado, here is our conversation with Les Baquiran.
