Leaders in Motion · 2025-11-20 · 8 min
In this short solo episode, I share key insights from a conversation I led with three senior APAC executives: Andy Wälti (former Head of China & APAC at Clariant), Howard Li (President of LPKF China), and Justin Sargeant (former APAC President at NielsenIQ). Their experiences highlight three core pillars of effective APAC leadership: managing global HQ expectations , developing cultural agility , and building real global visibility across multinational organisations. I focus on the signals that matter most today for APAC leaders aiming for stronger global influence, cross-border impact, and readiness for international executive roles . If these themes resonate with your own leadership journey, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you need to move forward. - Subscribe now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your executive inspiration and learn how global leaders think ahead, move faster, and lead smarter.
