Meet Our Team

Senior Management

A successful company is only as stable as its leadership. The senior management team at McKenzie International Investments has more than a century of combined experience and expertise navigating the complex and often volatile financial markets. Having an innate talent for understanding the nuances of geopolitical manoeuvrings and their impact on investments has allowed McKenzie International Investments to identify and take advantage of many opportunities before other firms have concluded their research. We all have a strong desire, not only to be the best in our respective fields but also to steer McKenzie International Investments to becoming one of the best boutique companies in its sector. Hard work, dedication and a never-ending hunger for learning are key qualities demonstrated daily by our senior management team at McKenzie International Investments .

James J. McKenzie Chairman & Principal Trustee

James founded McKenzie International Investments upon moving to Hong Kong in 2009 after previously working at a number of well-known investments firms. Despite being a relative newcomer to a vibrant city, James successfully guided the firm through the volatile times of the Asian financial crisis and lead the way in building the firm that you see today.

Christian T. M. Woolf Director of Private Accounts

Christian has spent the vast majority of his career specialising in offshore wealth-management and is considered an expert in his field by his colleagues.

Over the last 26 years in the industry Izak has developed a reputation as one of the steeliest competitors when it comes to investment performance, twice winning the prestigious accolade of Hong Kong Offshore Wealth Manager of the Year in 2010 and 2015. A keen eye for detail, he takes great pride in ensuring his clients achieve their desired goals through well implemented strategic financial planning.
