My career includes National Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, MIDF and senior leadership in electronics / EMS manufacturing. Through The Fine Malaccan Ventures, my consulting assignments have included Ricoh TQM, Domino food operations, S2 Signature and cleantech business development.

Services include:

• Business planning, market research and channel development.

• Sales proposals, tender-response reviews and negotiation preparation.
