How did you get your idea for your business?
When I started the company 10 years ago, emerging technologies were beginning to transform the global business landscape. Back then, I saw a great potential to build the right capabilities required to help corporations navigate a new disruptive business landscape. I was well positioned to lead in this space based on my years of experience in corporate strategy, technology implementation and business optimization. Additionally, I wanted to build a new business model for consulting that was agile and dynamic. This led me to establish a ‘modular’ consulting firm with a small core team and extensive pool of experts who plug-in and out of client engagements as required.
How do you ensure the quality of services in your company?
Our team works closely with clients to ensure that we gain a deep understanding of their business and industry.
