Bell is an APAC investor, operator and senior advisor with more than 25 years of experience across M&amp;A, renewable energy, infrastructure, mining, healthcare and strategic advisory. He has built, led and advised businesses and mandates of significant scale, working with developers, investors, boards, governments and operating businesses across Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, and the broader Asia Pacific region.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from Sydney, Australia, Simon has spent the majority of his career embedded in Asia. He lived and worked full-time in Indonesia for nineteen years before relocating to Singapore in 2018, and continues to work extensively across both markets. Few advisors operating at his level carry that combination of principal-level track record and ground-level regional fluency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:1.5rem\"><\/div><h4 class=\"w-text us_custom_ad2c4ffb\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">He does not distinguish between strategy and delivery.

This proposed Solar PV and Energy Storage System in Indonesia is designed to supply renewable electricity to Singapore via subsea cable. The project represents one of the most ambitious cross-border clean energy concepts in the region and reflects Simon&#8217;s commitment to originating and advancing large-scale, complex energy opportunities in the Asia Pacific region. He is simultaneously progressing an additional US$ 2.5 billion in clean energy investments across Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in his career, Simon served as the deputy leader of an Australian government-sponsored international expert team providing technical assistance to the Indonesian government, including support in establishing the Financial Intelligence Unit within Bank Indonesia (PPATK), with a total project value of US$ 25 million.<\/p>\n<p>He has worked with and alongside institutions including Newmont Corporation, Bank Central Asia, BHP, BP, Semen Indonesia and the World Resources Institute, facilitating more than US$ 337 million in green investments through the New Ventures Asia programme.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_f258237b philanthropy-community-section height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;--laptops-columns-gap:3rem;--tablets-columns-gap:2.5rem;--mobiles-columns-gap:1.5rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_950b9d20 text-underline has_text_color\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Philanthropy and Community<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_adbdc3f6 has_aspect_ratio align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/simonbell.asia\/staging\/9559\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Philanthropy-community-image.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simonbell.asia\/staging\/9559\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Philanthropy-community-image.webp 1024w, https:\/\/simonbell.asia\/staging\/9559\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Philanthropy-community-image-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:1.5rem\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Beyond his commercial work, Simon is committed to giving back and volunteering.
