SuperYacht Times is pleased to announce that Alexandre Heng, Founder and CEO of O2H2O, one of Asia's first integrated private jet and superyacht brokerage firms, will participate in the 'Emerging Markets' panel at the upcoming Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit 2025.
The summit is scheduled to take place on 7 and 8 May 2025 at the Renaissance Harbour Hotel in Hong Kong. Its aim is to promote the region as a leading yachting destination, addressing current challenges and highlighting unique opportunities.
Alexandre Heng, a French-born Chinese speaker, will address the intricacies of entering emerging markets, offering strategies for sustainable growth across industry borders.
Throughout two decades, Heng has contributed to key initiatives that have influenced the development of the yachting landscape in Asia. He played a central role in the Hainan Rendez-Vous, a notable event in China’s yachting history that contributed to increased consumer awareness and industry development.
Heng’s work has also involved cultural diplomacy, with endorsement from the Monaco government, such as his role as Strategic Advisor to Monaco’s Embassy in China, for instance. In this capacity, he has coordinated high-profile engagements, such as Prince Albert II’s visit to Beijing. He founded China Night in Monaco and Monaco Week in China, which are initiatives aimed at promoting partnerships that bring Monaco’s maritime expertise to Asia and strengthen the region’s position in the global yachting market.
As the former President of Asia for VistaJet, Alexandre Heng led the company’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, developing specialised aviation services for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients.
Subsequently, he founded O2H2O, headquartered in Hong Kong, expanding its operations into Vietnam and Malaysia to enhance service offerings in emerging markets.
Recently, Heng expanded his business operations by becoming the sole distributor of Sanlorenzo in Vietnam, in partnership with S&S Group. His brokerage firm, operating across multiple Asian countries, offers a range of services including acquisition, chartering, management and special project consultancy.
