Fractional Country Director Thailand

Executive Leadership for the Thai Market

Is Your Strategy Getting
Stuck in the Weeds?

The Reality Gap
Your reports say one thing. The bank account says another. You don't have eyes on the ground to verify what is actually happening.

No Local Commander
Your local team is waiting to be told what to do. Without a peer leader in the room, decisions stall and initiative dies.

Cultural Friction
Western expectations don't always map to Thai hierarchy. This creates invisible drag that kills your speed to market.

Hero Dependence
Your revenue relies on one or two people working too hard. That isn't a system. That is a liability.

You Can’t Fix Operations Without Boots on the Ground.

Expansion is messy. Doing it remotely is dangerous.

You have the capital. You have the vision. But without a trusted operator in Bangkok, you are flying blind. You sense the friction—the polite nods that mean “no,” the stalled initiatives, or the “yes men” who are afraid to give you the bad news.

Most consultants deliver a strategy deck and leave you to manage the mess.

I do the hard stuff everyone else avoids.

I don’t just advise; I step in as your Country Director. I tackle the root causes that don’t have textbook answers. I ask the hard financial questions your local managers neglect. I audit the cultural gaps that are silently killing your margins.

We move from “hoping it gets done” to “knowing it is done.”

My approach is hands-on. I build the commercial infrastructure: restructuring workflows, verifying vendor contracts, and installing the management systems that force accountability.

You stay in control of the vision. But you no longer have to worry if the execution is happening to your standard.

If you are ready to secure your commercial position and remove the operational risk, let’s schedule a no-pressure conversation.

 

Feel Like Your Fighting Gravity?

If you are constantly pushing just to get basic execution, you have a systems problem. You are fighting the structure instead of governing it.

Missing Your
Safety Net?

One compliance mistake or cultural screw-up can derail your P&L. Managing high-stakes growth without a proxy is a gamble you don’t need to take.

Ready To Rise Above
the Distractions?

Let’s install the systems that allow your Thailand operations to run at a western standard. You focus on the horizon; I handle the noise.

Your Strategic Proxy

I have been in Bangkok since 2012. I hold PR status. I know how the systems work. I am not here to be a “Yes Man.” I am here to protect your interests, build your infrastructure, and ensure your business runs professionally.

Scott is one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever worked with. He always takes the time to explain complex tasks in a way that makes them easy to understand. He’s always encouraging us to grow and improve. Scott is not just a great leader but also a mentor who genuinely cares about our development.

Doing It Alone

Doing It Together

Our leads have grown immensely since working with Scott. We’ve gone from having zero prospects to a healthy population of contacts with whom we connect through our lead magnets. The number of contact forms or inbound requests we receive has increased to the point where I’ve had to hire more staff.

What is a fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO is an expert marketing strategist
who dedicates a fixed amount of time to a business
in a given month. As a leader in your c-suite, a
fractional CMO can drive initiatives forward in a way
that a less experienced hire or an outsourced vendor
never could.

How does it work?

Once you and I confirm we’re a good fit for one
another, I will join as an internal leader — driving
initiatives, leading meetings, and collaborating with
other teams — but without the expense and
obligations of a full-time hire.

Full-time vs.
Fractional

By reducing your executive headcount, you eliminate
the risk and expense of a bad-fit full-time hire. This
saves money on the salary, benefits, insurance,
bonuses, and other costs associated with hiring for
leadership roles.
