Finding
Balance.
Every day.
I've spent twenty years working in enterprise strategy and transformation across Asia. Alongside that, I work with young adults who are finding their feet — figuring out direction in their careers and in life. And I make watercolours, because in watercolour you can't always fix your mistakes. You have to roll with them. Turns out that's good life advice too.
Moments worth
looking at twice
Watercolours, portraits, urban sketches, and glimpses of the natural world. Made slowly, by hand, as an antidote to the pace of everything else.
"I paint in watercolour because you can't always fix your mistakes. You have to roll with them. I've found that's true of most things worth doing."

One person.
Three practices.
One north star.
I've spent twenty years working across Asia — in boardrooms, on transformation programmes, and across cultures and countries that have shaped how I think about people, change, and what it actually means to lead. That breadth of experience is the most useful thing I bring to any conversation.
I started painting around the same time I started having those conversations differently — slower, with more patience, less agenda. Something shifted. I'm still not sure which changed first: the painting or the conversations.
Balance is not a destination. It is the discipline of returning — to what matters, to who you are, to the small things that remind you why.— Kapilesh Taneja
A conversation,
not a programme.
I don't have a coaching methodology or a six-week framework. What I have is twenty years of working across Asia and sitting with people at difficult moments — and a reasonable ability to ask the question that actually helps.
I work primarily with young adults who are finding their feet — figuring out what kind of career they want, what kind of life they want alongside it, and how to make decisions when nothing feels certain yet. That uncertainty is normal. It just helps to talk it through with someone who's been further down the road.
If you're curious whether a conversation might be useful, the best way to find out is to have one.
Finding Your Direction
For young adults at the start of their careers who want to think more clearly about where they're headed — not just what job to take, but what kind of working life they actually want to build.
Career Crossroads
For professionals at any stage who know something needs to change but aren't sure what. Not a plan. Just a clearer view of where you actually are and what you actually want.
Rolling With It
On building resilience, making peace with uncertainty, and learning — like watercolour teaches you — that not every mistake needs to be fixed. Some of them become the best part of the work.
Ideas that
travel further
than a slide deck
The Reinvention Imperative
Why enterprise transformation fails when it starts with technology — and what it looks like when it starts with people. A CXO-level perspective on leading change that actually lasts.
AI at Human Scale
The real challenge of AI adoption isn't technical. It's about how humans relate to change, to uncertainty, and to each other. A grounded view from the front lines of enterprise AI.
The Balanced Leader
On creative practice, mental clarity, and why the best strategists I know all have a discipline that has nothing to do with business. What balance actually looks like in a demanding career.
