2. APAC Leadership Management: Managing HQ, Culture, and Visibility | Leaders in Motion - How Global Executives Reinvent Leadership in the Age of AI and Market Disruption

Description

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.
