Ophelia is a seasoned business consultant who successfully and profitably exited two business start-ups in her early 30s. With a strong foundation in business strategy and succession planning, she specialises in designing and administering compensation and retention tools, as well as advising on buy-sell agreements.
She is also trained and certified in estate planning. A personal medical crisis in 2013, when she was diagnosed with a highly aggressive and rare cancer, deepened her focus on financial planning structures for both personal and business succession.
With over 15 years of experience in specialist recruitment, Ophelia has built and led multiple high-performing teams across Asia. She has played a pivotal role in developing recruitment teams from the ground up, eventually transitioning fully operational units to incoming general managers. Her work has included delivering tailored recruitment solutions for major corporations, including oil majors, and managing tax and mobility planning alongside exclusive recruitment campaigns.
She is passionate about mentoring, continuous learning, innovation, and thought-provoking dialogue. In addition to her consultancy work, she is a strong advocate for the disadvantaged workforce and is committed to expanding employment opportunities for underrepresented groups.
Her areas of expertise include financial and business advisory, compensation and benefits structures, estate planning, partnership advisory, business development, buy-sell agreements, business succession planning, personal financial planning, and recruitment business consultancy.
