Ho Chi Minh City, October 1, 2025 - KPMG in Vietnam is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Dwyer as Partner - Head of Deal Advisory, effective 1 October 2025.

Michael joins KPMG in Vietnam from KPMG in Singapore, bringing over 20 years of experience with the Big Four, principally focused on capital markets, mergers and acquisitions transactions, deal execution, and project management. Throughout his career, Michael has worked across major international financial hubs including Melbourne, Sydney, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, London, and Singapore, providing advisory services to leading private equity, private credit, and financial services clients.

His extensive international experience has given him deep insights into both developed and emerging markets, enabling him to navigate cross-border complexities and deliver value-driven deal strategies across Europe and Asia Pacific.

Michael has worked on a wide range of deals, from large to mid-sized buyouts and growth investments. He’s supported clients on both the buying and selling sides, helping them through every stage of the deal process with a strong track record of success.

Now based in Ho Chi Minh City, Michael will lead KPMG’s Deal Advisory practice in Vietnam and Cambodia, overseeing a diverse portfolio of services including:

• Transaction Services (due diligence, integration & separation);
• Corporate Finance (Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and valuations);
• Deal Strategy (value creation and commercial due diligence); and
• Mergers and Acquisitions Tax

In his new role, Michael will work closely with other KPMG partners to continue providing clients with integrated, end-to-end advisory services supporting strategic expansion, transformation, and sustainable growth.

"Vietnam’s M&A market is undergoing a major transformation, driven by strong economic fundamentals, government reforms, and rising Asia Pacific investor interest. Private equity is targeting scalable platforms in healthcare, logistics, and consumer services, while private credit is bridging funding gaps. Financial services lead key deals, reflecting confidence in Vietnam’s regulatory clarity and digital growth. New laws and stock market upgrades are positioning Vietnam as a hub for strategic capital and long-term partnerships. KPMG offers end-to-end deal advisory services, combining local insight with global expertise to support inbound and cross-border M&A"
