I am Regional Vice President for the Asia-Pacific at the Internet Society. In this role I work with a broad range of stakeholders including governments, civil society, academia, the private sector, the technical community, and influencers in the Asia-Pacific region to promote technologies, policies, and best practices to keep the Internet open, globally connected, secure, and trusted for the benefit of people all across the world.
Prior to joining the Internet Society, I played founding and leading roles in several technology and private equity investment firms. I have extensive experience in business management and strategy development across multiple industries, including telecommunications, power infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, and real estate. I have provided consulting and mentoring support to start-ups and SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region, and have held advisory roles across multiple sectors ranging from governmental organizations to sporting organizations and the private sector.
Away from my day job, you'll find me pondering the swings and roundabouts of global markets, or out exploring the wonders of the natural world.
