Who

Bonnie Wong | ENTERPRISE CONSULTANT, INDEPENDENT PRACTITIONER

All problem solving starts with information and answering similar sorts of questions – what do you want, who can provide it, where do you find it, how do you go about finding and getting it…  I have creatively resolved issues and made strategic progress, compassionate to the needs of all stakeholders, whilst working with a number of different types of organisations including financial institutions, professional services firms, and many owner-operated businesses.  Through Composition Advisory Limited, I help create sustainable business models around community and people.

What I enjoy most is bringing out the best potential in people and teams.  I am enthusiastic about new directions and embrace change.  I can help you get organised, set goals, and plan strategically.

My Current Work

I am currently advising on a variety of projects including finance raising for a solar energy project, business modelling and strategy for enterprise hubs, and premises research and strategy for community- and culture-focused ventures.  I am also reviewing business plans received by Big Issue Invest, a provider of finance to social enterprises.

My Previous Work

I have over 13 years experience working with owner-operators, entrepreneurs, and financial institutions.  Most recently, I worked with Crown Northcorp and Skiworld, focusing primarily on communicating and reporting information to improve decision-making and communication amongst teams.   Previous to this, I spent 5 months advising a sovereign wealth fund, analysing real estate and corporate investment opportunities in a rapidly changing global market.  I spent two years at ABN AMRO Bank, raising around €500 million in debt finance for property in Europe.  I turned my idea of creating the team’s first induction training program for new associates and career changers into a reality, resulting in a one-day course featuring speakers from management and senior staff.  Before joining ABN AMRO, I worked with Hypo Real Estate Bank International, which in 2003 had the idea to expand into providing structured real estate debt.  In that year, I joined a fledgling team within the bank and helped create a further €200 million in new lending products.  Previously, I worked with Deloitte in their Corporate Finance Advisory team in London, UK and in their audit departments in London and Toronto, Canada.

I am qualified as a Chartered Accountant (Canada) and CFA Charterholder.  I am also a member of the Urban Land Institute and ULI’s European Sustainable Development Council.
