Outside work, I build open source apps and write short stories.

In Asia Pacific, the difference between a sound investment and a costly one often comes down to intelligence quality, not data volume.

I provide PE investors, corporates, and institutions with decision-ready geopolitical and regulatory risk intelligence, built on 20 years of tradecraft spanning intelligence, investigations, and strategic research, in a career arc running through Control Risks, Kroll, the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, and the Defence and Public Security arm of ST Engineering.

Over 170 investigations, intelligence, and advisory cases executed since 2015 across approximately 90 clients in 12+ markets, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, Australia, and broader APAC. Work spans complex cross-border due diligence, principal risk profiling, sanctions and regulatory exposure mapping, and political risk analysis across markets where ambiguity is structural, not temporary.

I maintain an active network across Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe, enabling faster sourcing, expert triangulation, and ground-truth access when timing is critical.

about:
"When a product carries an emotion, it generates market shares!"

This is the result of my mistakes and successes, and guided all of my actions through the course of my career: ”when you invest, you have to do it well, do not be afraid to pay more to develop quality products that create emotion and generate more profits.”

As a Managing Director, my mission is to help companies and investors to orient their growth strategies in line with this vision and create a financial, technological and human balance in order to ensure the success of these investments on the long term.

In this capacity, I have worked successfully in the strategic development of companies, M&A and execution of investment transactions in the technology and real estate sectors. I am proud to have carried out every activity I have managed, from an embryonic state to a major, profitable and dominant activity in its market.

EXPERIENCED ENTREPRENEUR and financial modelling expert, I am recognized by my peers and clients to conduct tangible valuations of companies and identify profitable and growth-generating investment opportunities.

Also known for the methodical preparation of my files and the transparency of my communications, I quickly position myself as a trusted partner and negotiate efficiently large transactions.

about:
Most pharma and biotech companies are sitting on mountains of data and still making decisions on instinct.

That gap is what I have spent 𝟏𝟔 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 trying to close.

We help pharma and biotech teams make faster, higher-confidence decisions across competitive intelligence, business development and licensing, new product planning, and portfolio strategy.

I started my career in life sciences consulting, advising pharma and biotech companies on commercial strategy, market access, and launch excellence. That work gave me a front-row seat to where intelligence gaps cost teams the most and what decision-makers actually need to act with conviction. Building 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗥𝘅 was the direct answer to what I saw.

What I think and write about every day:
➝ How AI is reshaping commercial intelligence in life sciences
➝ Why most pharma drug launches underperform and how data fixes that
➝ What the best BD&L teams do differently in the critical pre-launch window
➝ The future of real-world evidence and pipeline intelligence in pharma

𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗥𝘅 operates across two pillars. A full suite of pharma market research solutions covering HCP promotion tracking, patient and treatment pattern intelligence, brand health tracking, and competitive media monitoring. And a growing stack of AI-powered platforms that turn complex life sciences data into finished, decision-ready intelligence for CI, BD&L, NPP, and commercial teams.

Everything we build at 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗥𝘅 comes back to one belief: the best science deserves the best commercial intelligence behind it. If you are a pharma or biotech leader who wants your team acting on finished intelligence i

about:
As an experienced finance professional and management consultant with more than 20 years of experience in running finance operations and working with clients to define their finance teams’ strategies and processes, I enjoy the opportunities to create better finance processes.

During different positions within the finance organization of an international media firm, I gained experience on group and legal entity level processes and systems. As an accounting manager of two entities I was responsible for running accounting and reporting tasks, for generating monthly, quarterly and year-end financial statements and for all budget and planning activities and SEC and tax reporting.

A unique experience during this time was managing various projects in the finance context such as implementing new invoicing solutions and a new ERP financial system. The excitement of defining and realizing improved processes was the starting point for my career as a management consultant.

Managing projects has remained at the core of my professional development since. Today, as a Director of an international management consultancy, I help clients to define finance strategies and new operating models and to implement finance processes, ERP and reporting system architectures.

One development, which excites me is that I am witnessing a paradigm shift in finance. CFO teams are becoming more curious and more experimental about the potential of digital technologies.

I enjoy professional exchange about opportunities and challenges in these areas of interest. Please feel free to reach out to me for both discussion or support requests via LinkedIn of www.bearingpoint.com.
