Tsai joined Synova as an investment manager in 2013 from Alantra Corporate Finance, having previously trained at PwC. With a focus on technology, Tsai has worked on a number of Synova investments, including the recent exit of tech-enabled healthcare provider 4Ways (from which the firm achieved a 6x return).
