Yuki Fukushima
Managing Director
Yuki Fukushima was appointed Managing Director of Nihon M&A Center Malaysia in 2025. Since joining Nihon M&A Center in 2018, he has consistently specialized in cross-border M&A transactions, primarily supporting acquiring companies. Over the years, he has successfully advised on more than 15 deals across all five markets where Nihon M&A Center maintains offices—Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
Drawing on this extensive experience, he is able to provide comprehensive advisory services to buyers considering overseas expansion, including target selection, strategic approach, deal structuring, negotiation, and execution – always tailored to the specific characteristics of each market.
Since taking on his role in Malaysia, Fukushima has focused on facilitating transactions between Malaysian businesses and Japanese investors. Leveraging his deep understanding of Japanese corporate strategies, he also advises Malaysian owners from the buy-side perspective, ensuring alignment between local succession needs and the strategic objectives of Japanese partners.
Having experienced M&A across diverse Asian markets, he recognizes Malaysia as a particularly fertile ground for foreign, including Japanese, investment. He foresees strong growth in cross-border M&A market in Malaysia, supported by the country’s business friendly environment. Furthermore, he believes that business succession challenges, already significant in Japan, will increasingly affect Malaysian economy, creating opportunities for local-to-local M&A as well. By bringing the proven expertise of Nihon M&A Center to the Malaysian market, he aims to contribute meaningfully to the sustainable growth of local enterprises.
