I work at the intersection of project execution, developer platforms, principal investing, fund management, and board governance — with a focus on energy transition and digital infrastructure businesses that can scale with discipline.
My career spans direct project and developer experience as well as the infrastructure private equity and fund management layer that funds, governs, and scales platforms across Asia-Pacific.
I started closer to the project and developer layer, working on renewable energy acquisitions, project finance, and platform execution. That experience gave me a practical respect for what it actually takes to build infrastructure businesses on the ground.
In recent years, I have spent more time at the investing and fund management layer, helping originate, structure, finance, and govern infrastructure platforms. That broadened my perspective on capital formation, scale-up strategy, and how strong businesses look from the board and shareholder level.
The combination matters. I am most interested in businesses where good capital, good governance, and real operating capability come together. I am drawn to work that compounds over time, rewards discipline, and builds something durable.
Selected indicators from my career across investing, fund building, platform strategy, and infrastructure execution.
These are the areas where I am most likely to invest attention, build conviction, contribute perspective, or explore new ideas.
Investing in and helping scale renewable energy and adjacent infrastructure businesses, with a focus on platform quality, repeatability, and durable cash flow characteristics.
Looking at digital infrastructure through an infrastructure investor's lens, especially where power, land, connectivity, regulation, and industrial demand intersect.
Working on fund strategy, mandates, structured growth capital, and follow-on financing for infrastructure businesses that need more than one pool of capital to scale well.
How infrastructure businesses are actually built and then held to account: project pipelines, capital structures, teams, reporting quality, and the board-level discipline that scaling requires.
Assessing where AI can create real advantage across origination, diligence, portfolio intelligence, and the operating workflows of developers, funds, and infrastructure platforms.
Rather than a full transaction list, these examples are intended to show the kinds of problems I have worked on and the perspective I bring to infrastructure businesses and platforms.
At Aravest, I have helped shape the sustainable infrastructure vertical, deploy Fund I across three platforms, raise differentiated mandates, and work closely on governance and follow-on capital strategy.
At SMBC, I worked at the principal investing layer and helped bridge institutional capital with operating platforms and long-horizon infrastructure opportunities.
Before moving into principal investing, I joined the founding team of the Atkins infrastructure advisory practice, advising governments, sponsors and lenders on infrastructure transactions and projects across nine countries. The work spanned metro and transit-oriented development, monorail, hydropower, ports, utility-scale solar and rail.
Before moving deeper into fund management and private equity, I spent meaningful time closer to the project and developer layer, working on acquisitions, financing, and execution in renewable energy platforms.
My board and shareholder work centres on helping infrastructure businesses scale without losing financial discipline, reporting clarity, or control over execution.
The goal here is not volume. It is to show a small set of pieces that reflect how I think about bankability, infrastructure scale, policy, execution, and capital formation.
El Niño is not an asset risk. It is a portfolio factor, and most APAC renewables books hold far more of it than their diversification suggests.
Mekong hydropower rests on water regulated outside the concession. For equity, that is a return question, not a weather footnote.
A strengthening El Niño exposes the flaw in renewable energy's standard downside case: bad years arrive in clusters, not at random.
El Niño just became official. On a renewables grid, weather is no longer an operating detail. It is a revenue variable, and the models have not caught up.
