Managing Partner
(Singapore)
“In the next 25 years, Asia will be the region to be in – its diversity, history and culture make it such a complicated region that a singular policy prescription is out of the question. On the flip side, it is also an engine for growth. Creating demand given a young population with growing affluence will make Asia a compelling market that cannot be ignored.”
If you get one shot at life why waste it playing for a draw? For Ramesh, it’s about playing to win. The unexpected can and will occur, so flexibility and adaptability counts. Never lose sight on the goal.
Taking his wealth of experience in the telecommunications industry across the Asia Pacific, he sought out his next challenge in life by dipping his toes in a completely different sector and co-establishing White Rook Advisory. With White Rook Advisory, his goal is to challenge the status quo of how management consultancies in Asia work. Instead of a top-down, top-heavy approach, Ramesh believes in a bottom-up, challenge-and-build approach to ensure that clients hear what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. He counsels versatility in leadership and strategy when it comes to navigating uncertain landscapes.
When he’s not running or flexing his brain muscles at work, Ramesh spends time with his family. He is also actively engaged in social interest groups related to children with special needs.
