Senior Strategist
What do you do at &us?
I am a senior strategist at &us. I help clients improve their products and service offerings by injecting new thoughts and ideas.
I work closely with clients to carry out discovery work to understand how they can maximise their potential to create a product or service that the end users like.
I introduce new tools and skills to different teams to equip them to solve issues in different ways.
What do you care about most in your work?
- Making impact: I want to create meaningful impact and not just do the work for the sake of doing work.
- Enabling teams to make change: I believe a lot of teams lack that little push to give them authority to propose and make changes.
- Supercharging organisations.
What did you do prior to &us?
Senior Innovation Analyst at Jardine Matheson – I was one of first joiners (4th) of the innovation team of a large Asian conglomerate. The Innovation Team’s role is to bring cultural change and innovation mindset to the business across 450,000 employees. I helped run a innovation workshops, bringing design thinking methodology into businesses.
We then shifted focus into investing into new technology and look at how it can be adopted and embedded into the businesses.
