From Corporate Leader to Independent Partner

I spent over 30 years building businesses across Asia โ€” from managing agency networks in 10+ countries at The Economist Group, to advising on government policy that reshaped Hong Kong's trade ecosystem, to President, China Region of the World Millennium Chamber (WMC) Malaysia โ€” sourcing deals, matching partners, and advising operations across Southeast Asia.

The highlight? In 2008, I advised HKTDC on wine tax policy. The government adopted my recommendation to exempt wine tax, and Hong Kong became a regional wine trading hub. That experience taught me something invaluable: real business change happens at the intersection of policy, relationships, and execution.

Today I'm an Independent Consultant โ€” helping overseas businesses source products, develop software, build AI solutions, navigate China market entry, and expand into Southeast Asia. Not as a middleman. As a partner who's been on both sides of the table.

I don't just advise. I execute. Because I've been the CEO, the GM, the Asia Pacific head, and the board advisor โ€” and I know what it takes to deliver results.

"Impossible just means we haven't found the method yet."

โ€” My philosophy, applied to every challenge

What I Bring to Your Table

Software & AI Development

Former VP Asia Pacific of Massive Analytic โ€” a UK AI company with patented Precognition platform and quantum computing capability. Combined with HIT State Key Lab robotics team for computer vision, ML, and edge AI. I can build your product or source it. Not just spec it.

Manufacturing & Sourcing Intelligence

Trade data expertise from running Asia for the company that supplies U.S. customs bill-of-lading data to Bloomberg, WSJ, and NYT. I can verify suppliers using the same datasets the global newsrooms use. Plus own PCB and precision mold factories โ€” no middleman markups.

Strategic & M&A Advisory

Former CEO of a Hong Kong listed software company subsidiary. Pre-evaluation, feasibility, and future strategy for HK mainboard listed company acquisitions. Combining financial analysis with technical due diligence. Business model design for cross-border ventures.

Southeast Asia Bridge

President, China Region of World Millennium Chamber (WMC) Malaysia. Active deal sourcing, partner matching, and operational advisory across Southeast Asia. The China Plus One strategy isn't theoretical โ€” I have institutional channels and boots on the ground.

I'm Backed by a Team

Dr. William Po-Wah Wong โ€” my core partner in enterprise transformation. Plus robotics engineers, embedded systems experts, and operations professionals. This isn't a freelancer working alone.

How I Work

Independent. No Commissions.

I work for you, not the supplier. Zero hidden margins, no kickbacks from factories, no incentive to recommend the wrong partner.

Data-Backed Decisions

150,000+ research documents across 31 collections. Trade data expertise from running Asia for the company that supplies U.S. customs data. I don't guess. I verify.

Execute, Not Just Advise

I've been the CEO who delivers, the GM who executes, and the Asia head who builds from scratch. You get a partner who's done it โ€” not a consultant who's read about it.
