In Seoul, Korea, Livingstone welcomes <a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/sv\/team-member\/mona-j-sue\/\">Mona J. Sue<\/a>, an experienced M&amp;A advisor and senior executive, as a new Partner, while <a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/sv\/team-member\/sebastian-engelbrecht\/\">Sebastian Engelbrecht<\/a> has been promoted to Associate Partner in the Frankfurt office.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mona J. Sue Joins Livingstone Korea as Partner Effective September 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mona will work closely with David Tong Han and Livingstone\u2019s international offices to originate and execute domestic and cross-border transactions. Her particular focus will be on the Consumer, Retail, Beauty &amp; Personal Care sectors as well as other consumer-related industries. In addition, she will support Korean companies in their international expansion and international clients in identifying and pursuing opportunities in the Korean market. Mona and David already share a long-standing professional relationship dating back to their time together at Credit Suisse. Their combined transaction experience provides a strong foundation for further expanding Livingstone\u2019s presence in Korea and developing its cross-border transaction business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mona began her career as an Investment Manager at IMM Financial Group in Seoul before moving into Investment Banking at UBS and Credit Suisse. Based in New York, Hong Kong and Seoul, she advised companies on M&amp;A and capital markets transactions, with a particular focus on the Consumer, Retail and Healthcare sectors. She subsequently held senior positions in Corporate Strategy and Investments at Shinsegae Group, including within the Executive Office of Shinsegae Department Store, and later served as Senior Vice President, Strategy at Shinsegae International. Most recently, she founded Monas Lab, advising companies and investors on M&amp;A, market entry and strategic growth matters in Korea. This combines her Investment Banking and M&amp;A experience with the perspective gained from corporate leadership and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cI am delighted to join Livingstone and, in particular, to work with David again after our time together at Credit Suisse. Livingstone\u2019s collaborative culture, strong international platform and commitment to thoughtful, high-quality advice make this role particularly exciting for me. Through my experience in New York, Hong Kong and Seoul, I look forward to supporting Korean companies, corporates and investors in pursuing strategic opportunities both domestically and internationally, while also helping international clients navigate opportunities in the Korean market,\u201d<\/em> said <strong>Mona J. Sue, Partner at Livingstone, Seoul.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cI am very pleased to welcome Mona to Livingstone, having already worked closely with her at Credit Suisse. Her strategic capabilities, international perspective and deep understanding of the Korean market will be of tremendous value to our clients. I look forward to working with her again and to further expanding our presence in Korea as well as the opportunities available to our clients across Livingstone\u2019s international platform,\u201d<\/em> said <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/sv\/team-member\/david-tong-han\/\">David Tong Han<\/a>, Partner at Livingstone, Seoul.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sebastian Engelbrecht Promoted to Associate Partner in Frankfurt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In parallel, Livingstone strengthens its Partner team in Germany through an internal promotion: Sebastian Engelbrecht has been promoted to Associate Partner in the Frankfurt office, effective September 1. Sebastian joined Livingstone in April 2025 and advises on both sell-side and buy-side transactions. Sebastian has more than ten years of international transaction experience in Technology &amp; Business Services, with particular expertise in Digital Infrastructure. Since joining Livingstone, Sebastian has quickly established himself as a key member of the Frankfurt team, both in transaction execution and in collaborating across the wider team. His promotion recognises his contribution to date, his focus on proactive deal origination and Livingstone\u2019s commitment to his continued development within the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cSince joining Livingstone, Sebastian has quickly established himself as a highly valued member of our team through his technical expertise, strong personal commitment and deep understanding of our clients\u2019 needs. His promotion to Associate Partner is therefore a natural next step. We look forward to continuing to develop our business together with him, particularly within the TMT sector,\u201d<\/em> said<a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/sv\/team-member\/ralph-hagelgans\/\"> <\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/sv\/team-member\/ralph-hagelgans\/\">Ralph Hagelgans<\/a>, Partner at Livingstone, D\u00fcsseldorf.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cI am very pleased about the trust reflected in my promotion to Associate Partner. The past few months have demonstrated how much we can achieve as a team and through our international platform for our clients \u2013 particularly in sectors such as Digital Infrastructure and Technology &amp; Business Services, where I have a strong focus. I look forward to further developing existing client relationships and working with my colleagues to originate and execute new transactions,\u201d<\/em> said <strong>Sebastian Engelbrecht, Associate Partner at Livingstone, Frankfurt.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mona J.
