Cross-Border (Japan–Asia–West) Energy & Infrastructure Governance & Leadership

About

I advise leaders, boards, and institutions at inflection points—when trust, judgment, and culture matter as much as capital.

Over two decades, I have worked at the intersection of capital allocation, industrial operations, and leadership across Tokyo, London, Abu Dhabi, Boston, and Singapore—raising and deploying more than $10B across energy, infrastructure, and climate platforms.

Today, through Torii Holdings, I focus on senior advisory, selective board work, and executive advisory & coaching across Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific corridor.
