WHAT SIMON DOES
Deal origination, principal investment and senior advisory across Asia Pacific.
Simon originates, invests in and advises on complex opportunities across energy, infrastructure, mining and industrial sectors in the Asia Pacific. He works across the full cycle, from identifying and funding early-stage opportunities through to execution, capital engagement and board-level advisory.
Areas of Focus:
- Project and deal origination: identifying, creating and sponsoring opportunities at an early stage, including providing high-risk seed capital before institutional funding is in place
- Principal investment: committing capital as a founder and sponsor alongside strategic and financial partners
- Board and principal-level advisory on energy, infrastructure, mining and industrial mandates
- Capital formation, deal structuring and strategic positioning for large-scale projects
- Execution support where mandates are stalled, commercially misaligned or politically complex
- Turnaround, restructuring and problem-solving in special situations across Asia Pacific
SELECTED EXPERIENCE AT A GLANCE
Simon has led and advised on multiple large scale energy and infrastructure opportunities, including a multi-billion-dollar solar and cross-border power export project between Indonesia and Singapore, utility-scale renewable energy development across Australasia, and more than US$ 837 million in equity investments and value creation across the Silverwing portfolio and advisory mandates.
His career spans principal investment, project development, strategic advisory, capital raising, government engagement and board-level leadership across Indonesia, Singapore, Australia and the broader Asia Pacific.

- Combining investor discipline with operator judgement
- Deep fluency in Asia Pacific’s commercial, regulatory and political landscape
- Building trust with government, state-owned enterprises, multinationals and private capital
