Mr. Wang has over 20 years of impactful experience in private equity, venture capital, merchant banking, and family office investing.

Earlier, while at predecessor affiliate Asymmetry Capital LLC, Mr. Wang led the successful financial restructuring and liquidation of $1 billion in venture capital portfolios from Zero Stage Capital whose legacy spawned a forerunner to Moderna. These accomplishments were chronicled in several Harvard Business School case studies and other publications, including The Deal Magazine. Previously, following an eight-year investment banking career at Credit Suisse and Lehman Brothers, he led the formation of Asia Corporate Partners Fund, among the very first institutional direct investment fund products for China anchored by CalPERS, CalSTRS, Capital Group, China Development Bank (Taiwan), (whose core holdings included Hon Hai Precision (Foxconn), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Texas Instruments/Acer) along with other leading global asset managers.
Mr. Wang earned his B.A. in Economics from Columbia University and was a Visiting Fellow in Finance at the MIT Sloan School of Management at the invitation of the late Nobel laureate in Economics, Dr. Franco Modigliani.

BioSig Technologies leads the way forward in digital signal processing and AI for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. I am humbled to be a part of this critical mission to improve patient outcomes and save lives!”
