THE DIAGNOSTIC QUESTION

Which constraint is costing the business the most, and what evidence would change our decision?

Approach / Diagnose demand quality, conversion, channel contribution and repeat behaviour together.
03 / CONVERSION

A better booking journey starts
with fewer obstacles

SELECTED WORK / FRASERS HOSPITALITY

Project Meta

A legacy platform transition created a commercial and delivery challenge. I led the business case and implementation of a modern web platform.

My contribution

Investment case, stakeholder alignment, platform evaluation and delivery governance.

The useful client question

Where does the journey break today, and which change is most likely to improve completed bookings?

  • Inspect device and booking-step friction.
  • Check rate, inventory and payment failures.
  • Test changes against a clear baseline.
  • Reconcile bookings with cancellations.

The endpoints show reported improvement across six years. They do not isolate the effect of a single platform project.

Source: supplied career ledger, 2018 and 2024 conversion figures. No intervening annual series or causal attribution assumed.
05 / DISTRIBUTION ECONOMICS

A booking is worth what it leaves behind

INTERACTIVE / ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Compare acquisition cost on an equal booking value. Move the controls to see when the economics change.

VALUE AFTER CHANNEL COST
Intermediary
Direct

Direct payment cost: 3% of booking value.
Illustrative S$ model, not client results or industry benchmarks. Excludes operating costs, tax, cancellations, fixed technology costs and displacement.

My experience

Frasers CDP business case, vendor evaluation, data governance and architecture planning.

What that means for you

A bounded use case with data requirements, an accountable owner and a measurable outcome.

Source: career ledger and portfolio case 17. Proposal and evaluation experience; no completed enterprise CDP deployment claimed. Diagram is conceptual.
07 / TECHNOLOGY & AI

A clear decision before a large commitment

START HERE

What business decision
or customer task improves?

01

Improve what exists

Remove a known bottleneck using current capabilities.

02

Run a bounded pilot

Test an uncertain benefit with a cost ceiling and a stop rule.

03

Invest in a platform

Build the case for integration, operating ownership and full cost.

I connect commercial requirements with architecture choices, vendor evaluation and delivery responsibilities.

Selected evidence: delivered Project Meta programme and CDP proposal work. AI opportunities follow the same evaluation approach; no AI production outcome asserted.
08 / EXECUTION

Regional scale needs clear ownership

SELECTED WORK / ACCOR APAC

One operating model.
Room for local judgment.

Regional paid-media and analytics work included agency consolidation, market planning and multilingual search governance.

My contribution

Align market requirements, agency accountability and the information needed for investment decisions.

09 / DEMAND QUALITY

Market growth depends on readiness

SELECTED WORK / HOMEAWAY APAC

Japan market entry

The acquisition challenge extended beyond buying media. Local relevance, inventory and a credible customer journey shaped the opportunity.

My role: APAC performance marketing leadership, connecting acquisition decisions with market readiness.

01

A relevant offer

Inventory that fits the customer’s trip.

02

A credible experience

Language, trust and a usable transaction.

03

A measured launch

Defined cohorts, spend limits and learning gates.

Source: portfolio case 5 and career ledger. Regional marketing remit distinguished from country-team, partnership and regulatory responsibilities.
10 / FIRST ENGAGEMENT

A focused route to the next decision

The initial work should leave you with a clearer decision and an executable plan.

Scope, timing and measures agreed around your business problem.
11 / LET’S TALK

losing value?
