A graduate of Columbia Business School and a corporate advisor in Jakarta,   he's spent 30 years navigating the fast-changing world of clean energy. But one of his biggest adjustments wasn't professional—it was personal. Raised in the cool, cloudy climate of Britain,   Nick embodied classic menswear: structured tailoring, layers, wool.

His wardrobe now bridges two worlds:   timeless British elegance, with the lightness and ease that life near the equator demands. Style doesn't disappear in the heat. It evolves.
