Asia Pacific is a growth market with Singapore playing a major role.

Woods joins Triple Point as a veteran in commodity markets with proven success and emphasis in the Asia Pacific region. He most recently served as a Managing Partner at IKAT Capital Ventures, a firm of international executives creating value in technology and services businesses in China, Malaysia, India and the Philippines. Mr. Woods spent much of his 25-year career at trading and risk firm, SunGard, where he held several key leadership positions in Europe and Asia.
