The work, the way I see it.

Bio · in my own words

Vietnamese-Dutch. Born in the Netherlands to Vietnamese parents, educated at RSM Erasmus University in Rotterdam. My career has been built along the Asia–Europe axis. Not a generic 'global' practice, but a specific corridor I know in both directions.

My corporate years sit inside three industries with very different commercial logics: tech at Google, then retail and fashion at H&M, where I served as Regional Head of Sustainability and Public Affairs for South and Southeast Asia. That breadth, named in specifics, is what lets me sit in a room with a fashion executive, a tech founder, and an impact organisation and move all three forward.

Most advisors pick a side. They work on commercial growth or on the impact mandate. I have spent a decade inside the seam where the two have to hold together. Strategy that does not survive a P&L conversation is not strategy. Impact that doesn't earn its keep does not last.

The thing people notice first is communication. Voice as a leadership tool: making complex ideas land across cultures, hierarchies, and competing agendas. It is what shifts rooms. I work with founders, senior leaders, and organisations who are serious about building something that performs commercially and leaves a mark.
