Testimonials

I had the opportunity to explore divestment and acquisition opportunities and saw how they worked with different stakeholders (including all levels of staff and government authorities) to develop win-win deals: focusing on what the company needs to achieve, with fair and constructive inputs on how the company can do better.

~CEO, Healthcare Services Company, Singapore~

 

They guided us to uncover new staff configurations that would address both structural and strategic issues without imposing any pre-determined program on us. The structure of our intensely-focused offsite and workshop grew organically out of their prep period interactions with staff members and our own thinking about what we needed, moving forward together as a company, as well as individuals through their meticulous planning and facilitation.

~ Managing Director, Strategic Business Research, and Policy, China~

 

 

I had no prior experience in presenting to Board/Exco members but was guided and given pointers on how to improve the presentation of information to them. I appreciate your generosity with sharing your knowledge and mentoring.

~ CFO/SVP, Nursing Homes Company, Singapore~

 

 

It was a fantastic job looking into the culture of our company. The personal touch really motivated us to get to the core of our company and how we can improve. Insights were spot on and the way they presented in a cohesive way, minus the fluff, together with clear actions and recommendations has helped us enormously. We were alerted to strengths that may possibly turn into stumbling blocks for us in the future.

~Co- Founders, Food & Beverage Consulting Company, China~

 

 

Honest, dependable, and incredibly hardworking, and an impressive problem-solver who is always able to address complex issues with both creative thinking and confidence. Without the intellectual input, negotiation, and commitment, the deal would not be possible. True team players, managing to foster positive discussions and bringing the best out of other employees.

~CEO, Retail & Consumer Distribution Company, Singapore~
