XIAO LU
About Me
I am Xiao Lu, Founder and Principal Consultant of M&X London Consultancy, specialising in UK–China/EU market entry, cross‑border business development, and strategic advisory for companies seeking to expand into new international markets.
With over 35 years of senior leadership experience in international banking, I bring a deep understanding of cross‑border finance, regulatory environments, and commercial strategy. My background includes decades of work with global institutions, supporting clients across corporate banking, financial markets, and international business development.
Having lived and worked extensively in both the UK and China, I combine local insight with cross‑cultural expertise, helping organisations navigate the complexities of entering new markets, building partnerships, and establishing sustainable commercial pathways.
My Approach
My advisory work is grounded in three principles:
-
Strategic clarity — helping clients define their positioning, opportunities, and market pathways
-
Practical execution — translating strategy into actionable steps, partnerships, and commercial outcomes
-
Cross‑border insight — integrating financial, regulatory, and cultural understanding into every recommendation
I work independently, allowing me to provide objective, transparent, and tailored guidance to each client.
