01
Commercial clarity.
Strategy that survives contact with the P&L. Real numbers, real constraints, real trade-offs. Not slideware.
About
An independent practice, built on the work.
Growth Intel is an independent practice. We work across growth, operations, and leadership for ambitious businesses and the people driving them. Based in Singapore. Working globally.
The arc
Twenty years across financial services, edtech, and workforce development.
Growth Intel is an independent practice. The work draws from twenty years of senior commercial and partnerships roles across financial services (EY, RBS, PayPal), edtech, and workforce development, in Australia, the US, the UK, and Singapore.
The current operating context: a Director of Partnerships role at Skills Union, the Singapore workforce-development company behind training programs for BCG RISE, NTU, SSG, NTUC LearningHub, and the polytechnics. Growth Intel invoices Skills Union as a main client while the practice builds beyond that engagement.
Behind the practice: 850-plus hours of executive and career coaching with senior professionals navigating transitions from corporate into independent, fractional, and founder work.
The practice runs across three places. Sharpening the business. Building the growth system. Strengthening the people driving it. Each one can pull from the other when the work calls for it.
The senior corporate to independent transition is also a move we are making ourselves, in this market, in 2026. The work is current. That is part of the offer.
What shapes the work
Four principles, in practice.
02
Systems over scattered effort.
The work that compounds is the work you do once. Pipelines, knowledge bases, AI agents, and decision frameworks live longer than campaigns.
03
Human leadership.
Senior decisions get made by people, not org charts. Coaching, identity work, and the harder conversations are part of how growth happens.
04
Practical technology.
AI infrastructure that earns its keep in a small operating team. Not a research project. Not a procurement exercise. Tools that show up in the next week of work.
Who we especially like working with
The kind of work that compounds, with the kind of people who think.
- Founders running post-traction businesses where the operating layer is underbuilt.
- Women-led businesses building tools that change how work and learning happen.
- Senior professionals making the transition from corporate to independent.
- Leaders stepping into a bigger role, across a function, or out of an organisation.
- Operators who want a thinking partner who has done the work.
Begin
If the practice sounds like what you need.
The next step is a conversation. You do not need to know exactly what you need before getting in touch.
