About me
WHAT I DO: I help local and multinational retailers in South East Asia to increase sales and reduce costs across all categories by providing astute retail strategy advice, consultation, training and coaching.
WHO I WORK WITH: I partner with retailers in South East Asia by working with:
• CEOs wanting to improve their business model and commercial strategy
• CFOs looking to reduce costs and boost commercial gross margins
• Chief Commercial Officers needing to develop their teams capability
WHY IT WORKS: I help retailers respond quickly and effectively to significant events such as:
• Mergers and acquisitions
• New President or CEO coming in
• New competitor or market entry
• New government taxes / VAT change
• Increased performance requested from holding/parent company
• New need to maximise commercial gross profit
• New long term business plan requirement
• New short term need or focus area
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: I provide expert advice from decades of commercial experience that is not present in developing markets. I am able to accelerate performance while changing the culture of the commercial team to focus on their key responsibilities. I also inspire people to have a love for their commercial role and the importance it plays within a retail environment.
I love the retail business, being in stores and surveying the overall environment before diving into the details. I love finding practical, pragmatic and sustainable solutions. I am able to quickly see the root cause of problems and address them appropriately.
