- Proven track record in navigating SME-to-MNC transitions or high-growth environments.
- Strong executive presence with the ability to influence and secure buy-in at the Board level.
- Previous experience managing a multi-country remit across Southeast Asia is essential.
- A "Full Spectrum" HR background with specific strengths in Change Management and Organizational Design.
