Before you read the interview, if you want to know what is this column is all about then take a moment to read below. Otherwise, scroll straight down to read the interview with the Asia 's Best.

What is this column is all about?

There's a lot of junk out there. Pure and unadulterated rubbish! You know it very well. Day in and day out you read in vacuous but glossy magazines such as ZeroMoney and StupidInvestor hundreds of interviews of every Tom, Dick and Harry who talk about CDOs, correlation models, volatility, structured products, state of global economy, foreign exchange markets and just about everything else under the sun, in the same breath as they would talk about Mozart's music or the String theory in Physics.

This website is not in the business of selling financial news and articles to priests and prostitutes.

Team Latte's relentless search for talent and knowledge has led us to come up with this features column. We are looking for talent and knowledge and not just wasted assets such as degrees, diplomas or working for top tier institutions and Ivy League credentials. Ivy League individuals come dime a dozen. I am sure the world is sick and tired of talking machines from big banks and institutions in nice fancy suits, showing their face in every seminar and conference on this side of the planet.....vacuous faces popping up in magazines and conference halls not knowing shit from shoeshine.

But at the same time we believe that there are people in this industry, who are smart, not intellectually bankrupt and who truly understand the business of banking and finance. They don't come in hordes but they are out there somewhere. We are interested in talking to Asia 's best and brightest bankers and finance professionals, financial technologists and analysts and bringing their views and ideas to you. They could be anywhere, in any institution, big or small, top tier or regional, in the capacity of a trainee or a Managing Director, doesn't matter.......all that matters is how many standard deviations they are away, on the positive side, from mediocrity.

In this otherwise glamorous but mediocre world of banking and finance, these individuals are truly plus six sigma .
