He holds a Master of Science in business administration from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a B.A. in Commerce from Hitotsubashi University.
“Stonepeak is an active investor in Japan with investments across digital infrastructure and renewable energy generation and storage, and we continue to see significant opportunities in Japan to invest across these core areas of focus,” Hajir Naghdy, senior managing director and head of Asia and the Middle East at Stonepeak, said. “We are excited to leverage Yuichi’s expertise in these sectors and the Japanese market more broadly to deliver differentiated investments and additional value for our partners. We believe his leadership ability, relationships and experience will be highly additive to our established Asia Pacific team and we are thrilled to welcome him to the firm.”
“I am delighted to join Stonepeak, a firm with an excellent reputation for risk-adjusted infrastructure investing and strong market position as the largest independent infrastructure manager globally,” Jimbo said. “Stonepeak has demonstrated its thorough commitment to the region through its thoughtful investments, the recent close of its first dedicated Asia Infrastructure fund, and its continued addition of top-tier, regional expertise to the firm, and I am looking forward to being part of the Stonepeak team.”
