Amie Chang is a Managing Director at Nardello & Co. and the Head of the firm’s Los Angeles office, where she leads complex, multi-jurisdictional due diligence, strategic intelligence, fraud, asset tracing, and litigation support investigations.

• EXPERIENCE PRIOR TO NARDELLO & CO.

  Prior to joining the firm, Amie was a director at a global risk consulting firm, where she managed multiple engagements across the Asia-Pacific region. These included investigations into numerous Chinese companies in a wide range of industries ahead of their proposed listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; a business intelligence investigation related to allegations made against a listed Chinese company in a short seller report; and a litigation support investigation into assets of the founders of a prominent food and beverage chain in Asia and North America.

  Amie began her career as an intelligence analyst for the US Department of Defense, where she authored analytic papers on the leadership and foreign policy of East Asian countries. She was also a diplomat with the US Department of State, where she monitored political and security matters and provided analytic support to policy, strategic, and tactical customers.

• On behalf of a media company on the cusp of starting a major project, Amie led an investigation into historical allegations that, if true, would have had an adverse impact on the project and potentially threaten the reputation and image of the company and those associated with the project. Starting with intensive research in historic public records and media, the inquiry culminated in a series of interviews of individuals whom research indicated might have had contemporaneous knowledge of the allegations. The investigation corroborated the allegations, which allowed the client to make an informed decision regarding the future of the project.
• On behalf of a high-profile individual who was the victim of an online harassment campaign led by a former associate, Amie directed investigators who identified inconsistencies in the subject’s background and uncovered a pattern of abusive behavior by the subject. Counsel used these findings in their legal strategy against the former associate while the client’s public relations team used the information uncovered by Nardello & Co. to engage with media outlets and counter the adverse public narrative about the client.
