Market Entry & Asia Strategy
Helping organisations understand, enter and grow in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, including market-entry strategy, stakeholder mapping, partner identification and cultural advisory.
About
Built on the ground, not from a distance
I have more than 23 years' experience across Asia, particularly Indonesia and Southeast Asia, including 14 years as a professional footballer. My background includes 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 and Croatian, developing trusted relationships and actually delivering projects rather than advising from a distance.
