His pitch centered on Japan's leading electricity engineering contractor, with a market capitalization of approximately $8 billion. Shih believes there is a large mismatch between surging demand and a structurally constrained labor supply which is handing the company durable pricing power that the market has yet to fully price in.

Before Tybourne, Shih began his public-equity investing career at Ward Ferry Management in 2008, where he oversaw the firm's Chinese investments, and earlier worked at McKinsey & Co., TVG Capital, and Lehman Brothers. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a B.A. from Brown University.
