Building and backing infrastructure platforms across Asia-Pacific.
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.
What this site is for
A concise public home for my work, perspective, and writing on how infrastructure businesses are built, financed, governed, and scaled.
From projects and developers to funds and platforms
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.
A compact view of scale and scope
Selected indicators from my career across investing, fund building, platform strategy, and infrastructure execution.
Themes I spend the most time on
These are the areas where I am most likely to invest attention, build conviction, contribute perspective, or explore new ideas.
Energy transition platforms
Investing in and helping scale renewable energy and adjacent infrastructure businesses, with a focus on platform quality, repeatability, and durable cash flow characteristics.
Digital infrastructure
Looking at digital infrastructure through an infrastructure investor's lens, especially where power, land, connectivity, regulation, and industrial demand intersect.
Capital formation and scaling
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.
Governance and board work
Supporting boards and management teams on governance, reporting quality, liquidity discipline, and the practical interventions required as businesses grow.
Building infrastructure businesses
Interested not only in underwriting platforms, but in how infrastructure businesses are actually built: project pipelines, capital structures, teams, execution bottlenecks, and operating discipline.
AI in infrastructure and investing
Assessing where AI can create real advantage across origination, diligence, portfolio intelligence, and the operating workflows of developers, funds, and infrastructure platforms.
Experience that reflects how I think and operate
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.
Aravest — fund building and platform investing
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.
SMBC — institutional capital, fund formation, and principal investing
At SMBC, I worked at the principal investing layer and helped bridge institutional capital with operating platforms and long-horizon infrastructure opportunities.
Nexif Energy and SunEdison — direct developer and project experience
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.
Boards, governance, and scale-up discipline
My board and shareholder work centres on helping infrastructure businesses scale without losing financial discipline, reporting clarity, or control over execution.
Selected articles and notes
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.
The real bottleneck in APAC renewables has moved
An investor's view on why the constraint in APAC renewables is shifting away from financing generic capacity and toward the infrastructure that makes power connectable, dispatchable, and bankable.
China's Solar Price Reset
A practical note on why recent PV price moves matter less for the absolute module price than for underwriting assumptions, contract structure, and bankability.
Decarbonisation without CAPEX
A practical framing of decarbonisation models that reduce upfront customer friction and widen the addressable market for infrastructure-backed energy solutions.
Selected engagements
A small selection of publicly visible speaking, moderating, and guest lecture engagements across energy transition and digital infrastructure themes.
Open to thoughtful conversations with founders, investors, developers, institutions, and boards building real infrastructure businesses.
Particularly interested in conversations around energy transition platforms, digital infrastructure, scale-up strategy, governance, capital formation, and practical uses of AI in infrastructure and investing.
The cleanest way to reach me is by email with a concise note on the context, why the conversation is relevant, and any materials that would help me prepare.
Particularly relevant topics include infrastructure platform building, energy transition, digital infrastructure, scale-up strategy, governance, fundraising, and AI-enabled workflows in infrastructure and investing.
