TimeToAct CapitalCEO & Managing Partner Asia
SingaporeI led the Asia platform for TimeToAct Capital, a climate and impact-focused investment firm launched by the founder of a French boutique investment bank that has closed over €6 billion in climate and renewable energy M&A transactions globally. As Managing Partner & CEO, I was responsible for launching TTA’s new climate-focused fund in Asia and defining a strategy that responded to the region’s most pressing decarbonization and investment gaps. My role spanned fund design and strategy development, sourcing and structuring high-impact investments in climate tech and energy transition, forging strategic partnerships, and leading capital raising from institutional investors, DFIs, and family offices. I also worked closely with our global leadership to align the Asia platform with TTA’s core verticals—Energy Transition, Venture ClimateTech, and Nature-Based Solutions—while identifying undercapitalized opportunities that could generate both attractive returns and measurable impact. With over two decades of experience in impact investing and development finance, I bring deep market insight, strong networks, and a track record of building funds, leading transactions, and scaling investment platforms that mobilize commercial capital for climate solutions.
