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.
A concise public home for my work, perspective, and writing on how infrastructure businesses are built, financed, governed, and scaled.
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.
Supporting boards and management teams on governance, reporting quality, liquidity discipline, and the practical interventions required as businesses grow.
Interested not only in underwriting platforms, but in how infrastructure businesses are actually built: project pipelines, capital structures, teams, execution bottlenecks, and operating discipline.
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 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.
I publish occasional notes on infrastructure investing, energy transition, and digital infrastructure across Asia-Pacific. Subscribe to get new pieces directly.
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.
SpaceX is seeking a $1.75 trillion valuation on an infrastructure narrative. Applying conventional underwriting criteria segment by segment reveals a more complicated picture.
Singapore's consumer EV economics are a bottom-up demand map for APAC charging infrastructure. A practitioner's read of where the real investment opportunity lies.
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.
A practical note on why recent PV price moves matter less for the absolute module price than for underwriting assumptions, contract structure, and bankability.
A practical framing of decarbonisation models that reduce upfront customer friction and widen the addressable market for infrastructure-backed energy solutions.
I speak and moderate on infrastructure investing, energy transition, digital infrastructure and capital formation across Asia-Pacific.
Completed 2026 speaking and moderation engagements.
23–24 July 2026
Moderated a regional discussion on scaling electric mobility across Southeast Asia, spanning EV battery intelligence, maritime electrification, smart-grid integration and circularity, with a focus on the infrastructure and business models required for bankable deployment.
Digital infrastructure, AI-driven power demand, capital formation, and the investment constraints shaping data centre growth in Asia.
Infrastructure capital allocation, energy transition, and the role of disciplined financing in a changing Asia-Pacific energy landscape.
Earlier speaking, teaching, and industry engagements.
Digital infrastructure and data centre investment across the Singapore–Johor–Riau corridor, with a focus on AI-driven demand, power availability, connectivity, and sustainable capacity growth.
Guest lecture participation with executive participants.
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.
