Doing business with Heart in Southeast Asia
Expanding your business to another region can be daunting and takes time, perseverance and commitment. From being seconded to Asia with Citi Bank more than 40 years ago to going on to building an impressive career across Southeast Asia with ongoing ties back to Australia, Philip Forrest, one of Australia's most loved and respected business figures in Singapore, knows what it takes. Not only is Phil the non-executive director of my Singapore company, but he is also my mentor and dear friend for life, so I was thrilled to sit down with him. He shares his expert knowledge and insights on what it takes to succeed in Southeast Asia, from embracing cultural differences, developing trusted relationships, understanding the business ecosystem and showing humility and generosity of spirit.
