I work with founders, CEOs and boards to navigate Southeast Asia expansion and scale, helping them make clear, commercially sound decisions in complex and fast-moving markets. I bring 20+ years of CXO and country leadership experience across Singapore, Malaysia, Africa, Middle-East, Cambodia and broader APAC, with hands-on ownership of USD 200M+ P&L, board engagement, and capital markets exposure. My background spans telecom, digital services, SaaS partnerships, and platform-led business models. Most recently appointed to lead the build-out of a telecom-led digital services venture within a group environment, applying large-scale operator experience to create new non-connectivity revenue platforms under structured governance. I’ve led businesses through: • Market entry and regional expansion • Go-to-market and pricing strategy • Commercial turnarounds and growth acceleration • Leadership and operating model design • Board, investor, and regulatory engagement My advisory work is non-operational and strategic. I support leadership teams with judgement, strategic insights, and decision framing — particularly where expansion risk, resource allocation, and execution complexity intersect.
