Bio
Xiao Cheng Wong
I engaged Lewis as a pro-bono advisor while I was the CEO of Earth Heir. During our 1 year remote work experience, I find Lewis extremely strategic, practical, results-driven and yet focused on the social impact that me and my organisation are dedicated to achieve. Though completely remote, he was able to connect to my cause and was able to break down big objectives into small, achievable goals and he was able to support me in meeting all our goals and KPIs. He is also well-equipped with tools and frameworks to problem solve. I highly recommend Lewis if you are looking to grow your projects your organisations to the next level.

He is unwavering in his pursuit of excellence and delivering top-notch outcomes, thereby enhancing the knowledge and procedures of the teams and organizations he engages with. Throughout our partnership on projects and initiatives focused on creating positive social change and sustainable development, Lewis has displayed remarkable talent in strategic planning and design, communications, guiding and supporting social entrepreneurs, and most importantly , his commitment to 'moving the needle' on our impact goals . He is a dedicated professional with exceptional talent truly making world a better place. His work of many years in social innovation and design speaks for itself. He wants to make a difference and ready to give the work and effort required. Truly a gem and any organization and team would be lucky to have him.
