“Shaun has been instrumental in assisting me to navigate a very challenging time managing multiple stakeholders with very different views and agendas. His ability to understand the situation and ask me insightful power questions has assisted me to bring a much broader and insightful view of the situation.  This would not have been possible without Shaun’s deep understanding of doing business in South East Asia and his understanding of multinational organisations.”
