About

Built on the ground, not from a distance

I have more than 23 years' experience across Asia, particularly Indonesia and Southeast Asia. My background includes professional football, international business, sports diplomacy, market entry, strategic partnerships, government engagement and education.

A major point of difference is that my experience has been built on the ground in Asia — understanding the culture, speaking Bahasa Indonesia, developing trusted relationships and actually delivering projects rather than simply advising from a distance.
