About Damien Sidhanand

I help organisations turn innovation into reliable, scalable growth. My work blends corporate strategy, GTM strategy, and programme/PMO leadership — taking deep-tech and sustainability concepts from early-stage to market-ready with clear operating cadence and measurable results. How I work: define “where to play,” design market entry and commercialisation plans, quantify business cases (techno-economic & financial modelling), align stakeholders, and deliver transformation through disciplined PMO governance. Selected engagements: • Corporate strategy and market entry for a clean-air technology venture — validated fit, secured board approval, built a 5-country GTM roadmap, doubled lead-to-meeting conversion. • Rapid-scouting framework for tech evaluation — reduced cycles by 75%, redirected >USD 1B innovation portfolio toward high-ROI opportunities, aligned global stakeholders. • National recycling transformation (NEA capstone) — engineered IoT bin concepts and CAPEX scenarios (S$63M–S$291M) with projected 37% contamination reduction. • Sustainability pricing advisory during a commodity shock — informed strategy for executives covering ~70% of global market volume.
