I live between Singapore and San Francisco. I co-founded SuperAI and TOKEN2049, and I build Pax Silica. My work is to break down silos between Silicon Valley and Asia — between founders and sovereign capital, SF builders and Asian institutions, the people making AI and the people who will decide how it lands.
SuperAI is the largest AI conference in Asia. 7,000 people in 2025 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. 10,000+ expected this June. It's the only stage where American labs, Chinese frontier models, European builders, and Southeast Asian infrastructure meet in one room. Singapore is the only place that room can exist. The work now is moving AI from capability into deployment, and bringing the people responsible for that shift into the same room.
TOKEN2049 is the world's largest crypto conference. 40,000 attendees across Singapore and Dubai, 1,000+ side events during TOKEN2049 Week.
Before this, I built Montu in Australia. Earlier, I built and scaled early-stage fintech ventures across Asia at Nova Founders Capital.
Five years out, the work converges on Southeast Asia.
Frontier technology first. Southeast Asia will be a consumer of the AI era by default. I want it to be a producer.
Then the environment. Air quality across Southeast Asia is a crisis that most of the world has decided to ignore. I worked on it at KlimaDAO, an early-stage decentralised climate tech experiment. More to come.
And culture. Southeast Asia's soft power — music, cuisine, art — is its most underpriced asset. Cindy Leow and I are opening Pax Silica House in San Francisco with all of it built in — the acoustics, the lighting, the set design, the music, the food. It is the physical infrastructure of the same thesis: a place where the corridor can repeat often enough to become trust.
The peace of silicon. The shared substrate of computation creates new vectors for cooperation between East and West, even as political narratives diverge.
Pax Silica is the human layer of the AI corridor: a thesis, a publication, and a set of private rooms where frontier builders, sovereign capital, institutions, and cultural connectors can meet before the public narrative hardens. Dinners are the first format. The wider work is relationship infrastructure — salons, houses, and trusted rooms between Singapore, San Francisco, and the Asian ecosystems now looking outward.
