Sales & commercial development consulting
I help businesses develop sales strategies, build commercial relationships and enter new markets. My experience spans sales leadership, business development and independent consulting, primarily based in Southeast Asia, with clients and partners from around the world.

01 / How I help
My work includes restructuring sales processes, training teams, representing businesses to prospective clients and partners, and negotiating commercial agreements. I combine strategic advice with hands-on work on the relationships, proposals and processes that support a sale.
A commercial strategy needs a workable sales process behind it. I help businesses develop their sales approach, sharpen customer-facing materials and build team capability through training in sales and client communication.
I work with owners and teams to develop opportunities, establish partnerships and negotiate commercial arrangements. My experience includes representing businesses to private clients, developers, investors and institutional counterparts.
I assess markets and help define who an offering is for, how it differs and how to present it. Work includes market-entry research, value-proposition development, brand positioning and the commercial planning behind new concepts.
I turn business knowledge into clear, usable material—from proposals and sales content to founder-led publications, corporate training books and digital-product content. The work starts with understanding the business and the audience, not simply producing words.

I have worked with business owners, founders, investors and teams across sales, business development, hospitality, property and digital products. Much of my career has been based in Southeast Asia, working across cultures and commercial environments with clients and partners from around the world.
My experience includes running my own consulting practice, holding commercial leadership responsibilities and establishing a property business serving hotel developers in Eastern Indonesia. That background informs how I work: understanding the opportunity, developing the proposition and taking part in the practical work needed to move it forward.
I hold bachelor's degrees in International Studies and Religious Studies from the University of Oregon, with an International Studies focus that included cross-cultural communication and Southeast Asia.
