Cypress Meridian
Chief Financial Analyst
With over fifteen years navigating Vietnam's evolving financial landscape, Cypress brings a unique perspective to market analysis that's both deeply local and internationally informed. His background spans traditional banking, emerging fintech solutions, and the intricate regulatory environment that shapes financial decisions across Southeast Asia. What sets him apart isn't just technical knowledge — it's his ability to translate complex economic trends into practical strategies that real people can understand and act upon.
Before joining our team in early 2023, Cypress spent eight years with regional investment firms, where he witnessed firsthand how global market shifts affect local economies. This experience taught him that effective financial analysis isn't just about numbers — it's about understanding the human stories behind economic data.
Our Collective Approach
Financial stability isn't built in isolation. Our team combines diverse backgrounds in economics, policy analysis, and practical finance to create resources that serve real-world needs. We've learned that the most valuable insights often emerge from collaborative analysis rather than individual expertise alone.
Evidence-Based
Every analysis draws from verifiable data sources and peer-reviewed research, ensuring our insights stand on solid ground.
Collaborative
We believe diverse perspectives strengthen analysis, regularly consulting with regional experts and industry professionals.
Practical Focus
Academic theory meets real-world application in everything we produce, bridging the gap between concepts and action.
Why We Do This Work
Financial literacy shouldn't be a privilege reserved for those with economics degrees. Too many people make crucial financial decisions based on incomplete information or outdated advice. Our mission centers on democratizing access to quality financial analysis — making sophisticated insights available to anyone willing to invest time in learning.
This isn't about quick fixes or guaranteed returns. Instead, we focus on building foundational understanding that serves people throughout their financial journeys. Whether someone is evaluating investment options, planning for retirement, or simply trying to understand market movements, we aim to provide the analytical tools they need to make informed decisions.
