An experienced Market Analyst and Management Consultant in the field of Strategy and Innovation. • I have supported MNCs, large corporates, SMEs, startups, and government agencies in East and Southeast Asia, in industries such as, among others, consumer products, retail, e-commerce, food & beverage, health & beauty, property & construction, banking, financial services, public utility, media, entertainment, information and communications technology (ICT), manufacturing, education, healthcare, agriculture, automotive, transport, logistics, and the public sector. • My areas of expertise include the design and project management of consulting projects, market study and industry research, the formulation and execution of business strategies, the optimization of internal processes, the definition of change management and business transformation journeys, the design of new/improvement of existing products/services/solutions via consumer surveys and the study of consumers’ journeys, and the development of cultural transformation journeys to create engagement among the workforce. • I have helped clients both off-site and on-site at their offices, delivered talks and presentations, conducted industry analyses, provided advisory/problem solving support, facilitated C-suite discussions, worked with the clients’ transformation teams for the design/execution of business initiatives, and took on temporary managerial/leadership roles in selected clients’ departments. I strongly believe in “humanizing strategies”: technical expertise should be combined with a human touch to successfully link a strategy to the people executing it.
