Vivien is excellent in her insights on digital transformation and digital marketing. She has a strong pulse on the market and has a keen sense on emerging trends. Her intuition is sharp and accurate. Her business acumen is admirable. When she takes on a project she lunges into it with gusto, commitment and dedication. She is a lady of her words and will go through great lengths to help both clients and students to uncover and develop unique and strategic solutions. I strongly recommend Vivien as a strategic partner and consultant especially if you are looking at growing your business both locally and internationally. She has a good team supporting her. You will be in good hands.

Vivien bought vast real-life experiences especially in areas of digital marketing, digital transformation and design thinking into business capstone program and she makes the school projects exciting and challenging. She is very strong in research methodologies and business frameworks. I have supported her in numerous class projects and the clients were all very impressed with the high standard and deliverables of the projects. She is very generous in the sharing of her ideas as well as coaching & mentoring of students. I must say that she is very good in transforming the students into professional consultants! With her professionalism, high energy and commitment, I strongly recommend her and her team at VK Transformation to be your trusted partner in your next phase of business growth.

In response to a global cybersecurity talent shortage, RSA partnered with VK Transformation on a consulting project to uncover key market and customer insights in support of the expansion plan of our RSA Academic Alliance Program. Besides comprehensive consulting & research on macroeconomic, industry trends, and customer segmentation, thanks to their strong focus on sales performance, they have gone above and beyond our expectations and turned this consulting project into a customer acquisition project. Team VKT used creative and out-of-the-box thinking & tools to rightfully identify key stakeholder contacts around the Asia Pacific region and generated sales qualified leads for us in a short amount of time despite the COVID-19 pandemic. VK Transformation’s professionalism and commitment, as well as their willingness to always go the extra mile for their clients, is exemplary. My team and I highly recommend businesses to explore business partnerships with VKT team and tap into their digital sales & marketing expertise to expand their customer base apart from retaining their clients.
