Every firm has an origin. Ours began when four individuals, each following their own trajectory across Asia and the Pacific, discovered they were aligned on the same meridian.
EMMA THORNTON
Leads the Arc of Capital
Emma Thornton had spent two decades in Hong Kong’s financial towers and previously in Auckland’s capital markets, moving capital across borders. A Kiwi who built her career bridging the Pacific, she knew money could move mountains—but it needed purpose.
SOFIA RAMIREZ
Leads the Arc of Resilience
Sofia Ramirez had built resilience projects across the Philippines, watching communities recover and rebuild. She knew what worked—but it needed scale.
AKARI WATANABE
Leads the Arc of Technology
Akari Watanabe had engineered the technologies of tomorrow at Siemens Energy and SoftBank. She knew what was possible—but it needed strategy.
MATEO HERRERA
Leads the Arc of Transition
Mateo Herrera had advised Gulf energy giants and sovereign wealth funds on their transition from oil. He knew the energy future was being written—but it needed authors.
