Track Record and Experience
Currently executing an independent M&A sell-side mandate while building Kalama Intelligence, a Phnom-Penh based firm I founded to accelerate the Cambodian economy. Previously delivered strategic consulting for SNCF and major international clients, including a $1B+ tender advisory and successful $50M+ corporate restructuring. Deep experience across transportation infrastructure, real estate development, and cross-border transactions in emerging markets.
An interdisciplinary foundation dating to my undergraduate work in political science, international security, and classics informs everything I do. This cross-domain thinking—spanning geopolitics, advanced forecasting, and systems analysis—produces strategic intelligence that goes far beyond traditional financial advisory or consulting.
What this means in practice: while others analyze what happened, I focus on what's coming next. I try to find the missing links and connect the dots to enable meaningful and positive economic and human development in Southeast Asia -- and accelerate growth by implementing changes, not just watching from afar.
