Three Topics. Three Formats.

About Me

Where the Pit Wall Meets the Driver's Seat

I spent 18 years building brands and driving commercial growth at The LEGO Group and Procter & Gamble across Asia — before stepping out to do what I had been doing informally for years: helping leaders and organisations navigate the crossroads that define careers, teams, and businesses.

As Marketing & Commercial Director at The LEGO Group, I led multi-market turnarounds across 11 markets, delivering 3× topline growth, 10× eCommerce scale, and some of the region's most iconic brand campaigns — including global partnerships with F1, Disney, McLaren, and BTS. In April 2026 I launched Crossroads Navigator Pte. Ltd. full-time.

Track Record

20 Years at Full Throttle

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions buyers most often ask before reaching out.

What's included in a Fractional engagement?
I embed in your leadership team for ~2 days a week over 3–6 months, owning the strategy, the team, and the commercial outcomes. Fixed monthly retainer with a quarterly review. I attend leadership meetings, drive cross-functional execution, and report into the CEO or board as agreed at the outset.
How is your AI training different from a generic AI workshop?
Most AI workshops show demos. Mine sends teams home with a working AI assistant they have built themselves and a workflow automation that runs in their actual business — not just slides. The training is grounded in AI implementation work I have done inside organisations, not theory.
Who is the right fit for a Fractional CMO/CGO engagement?
Scale-ups and regional businesses where the marketing or growth function needs senior leadership but doesn't yet justify a full-time C-level hire. Most often: $10M–$200M revenue, expanding across APAC, brand-led, or repositioning for the next stage of growth.
Do you customise keynotes for a specific audience?
Always. Every keynote is shaped to the audience's industry, current pressure points, and the organiser's specific outcome goal. A discovery call before the engagement is part of the prep — never one-size-fits-all delivery.
Where are you based, and do you travel?
Singapore-based. Routinely deliver across India, South-East Asia, Greater China, Japan/Korea, and ANZ. Remote keynotes are also available where in-person isn't viable.
What's the typical lead time?
Keynotes: 3–4 weeks. Workshops: 6–8 weeks (including customisation and pre-work). Fractional engagements typically start ~30 days from agreement.
