Ally Tong Zhang is a seasoned private equity executive and special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) leader who currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairwoman of both Southern Cross Acquisition I Corp. (NASDAQ: NCO) and Southern Cross Acquisition II Corp. Southern Cross Acquisition I, a Cayman Islands exempted blank check company, filed for a $100 million IPO and ultimately closed a $115 million initial public offering in July 2026, with units trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker "NCOOU." The SPAC's target search is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region. Zhang has been leading Southern Cross Acquisition II Corp. since April 29, 2026, and serves as Chairman of the Board and CEO of both entities. She was issued 5,000 ordinary shares of Southern Cross Acquisition I by the sponsor, Southern Cross Acquisition I Sponsor Corp., on July 16, 2026, giving her an approximate 0.04% ownership stake in the issuer. The company is headquartered at 1412 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10018.
In her primary professional capacity, Zhang is a Managing Director at Siguler Guff & Company, where she serves as the firm's Head of China and is a member of the Investment Committees for the BRIC/GEM Opportunities Funds. Siguler Guff is a multi-strategy private equity investment firm with over $10 billion in assets under management, originally founded in 1991 within PaineWebber and spun out as an independent firm in 1995. Zhang is based in Shanghai and brings over 20 years of experience in consulting, corporate investment, and private equity investments, with some sources citing more than 30 years in the corporate finance industry providing financial advisory services to multinational companies in China. Her prior roles include serving as General Manager of Shanghai, and she has also held the title of Executive Director. As a venture capital and private equity investor, Zhang has backed at least six known portfolio companies, including PicsArt, Podiatry Growth Partners, Plum, Cinarra Systems, SEMrush, and Baazar Kolkata, with investment focus areas spanning advertising, healthcare, data integration, e-commerce, telecommunications, mobile software, and marketplace platforms, among others.
Zhang's board at Southern Cross Acquisition I Corp. includes independent directors Qian Xu, Zhiqiang Du, and Zhuo Liang, all of whom joined with less than a year of tenure as of mid-2026. The SPAC's IPO was managed by D. Boral Capital LLC as sole book-running manager, with Robinson & Cole LLP serving as legal counsel to the company and Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP representing the underwriter. The offering generated $115 million in gross proceeds, all of which was placed in trust, along with a concurrent private placement of 239,300 units yielding approximately $2.393 million. Zhang, age 52, can be reached at allyzhang@southerncross.cc for matters related to the Southern Cross SPACs, while her Siguler Guff profile lists her as part of the firm's Shanghai office. Her dual leadership of two SPACs alongside her senior role at a major global private equity firm positions her as a notable figure bridging the U.S. capital markets and Chinese investment landscape.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002144429 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
