Consultant

I'm a freelance consultant for the social impact sector -- Being an optimistic realist and having been exposed to many cultures growing up, I am passionate and determined to find solutions to social challenges around the world.

I have increased efficiency, sustainability, and business growth of mission­-driven organisations through the On Purpose programme and through The Impact Collective, which I helped set up. Previously, I worked in consumer research and product development at P&G, started up my own business, and picked up business knowledge from INSEAD.

Now combined with the social sector and leadership experience I’ve attained, I love to help organisations become sustainably and socially successful by developing business plans and finding innovative alternatives with actionable solutions to the challenges they are trying to tackle.
