With the region set to become a technological powerhouse , the sleeping giants of its developing economies are increasingly positioned to capitalise on the region ’ s own growing demands for energy and the world ’ s imperative to convert to renewable energy sources .

I grew up in Australia and have been living overseas for more than 20 years , living and working in the US and Europe before I made my home in Singapore and the Asian region . Having begun my career as a corporate lawyer in Sydney , I transitioned across to banking where I ran the Energy and Infrastructure Group for ING Bank in Hong Kong and , since then , have managed a number of energy businesses in the region before joining Vestas as Asia Pacific CEO in early 2017 .
