About Me

Investment Advisor | Strategic Financial Consultant

Mary Khoo

Professional Journey

I arrived in the United States in 2018, starting from scratch with a determination to build a career in investment banking and financial advisory.

My journey began with an internship at Morgan Stanley's New York headquarters, introduced by my aunt who worked in global investment banking. That six-month experience was transformative—working on a healthcare technology cross-border financing deal, I learned to navigate fast-paced environments and found my voice in professional settings.

Through my aunt's referral, I joined Houlihan Lokey's Los Angeles headquarters as an Investment Advisor. I specialize in healthcare and technology sectors, focusing on mid-market M&A transactions ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars.
