Testimonial from Guenther Hake,
SVP & Managing Director, Greater China Disney Consumer Products at
The Walt Disney Company:
“Ian worked for us in China to fine tune our retail strategy and to improve our licensees’ ecommerce performance. His retail experience and his capability to communicate with the local leadership team inside Disney and outside with our licensees made it a great pleasure to work with him.”

Testimonial from Colin Bain,
Managing Director at K3 Retail & Business Solutions, UK:
“Ian has a very good knowledge of the multi channel sector and showed his ability to influence large projects in a positive manner. He provided excellent insight into how the solution should be implemented.”

Testimonial from Anil Sharad,
Business Systems Manager, Non-Food and Marketing at Tesco:
“Ian is an experienced retail professional with a rare combination of hands-on retail operational experience combined with sound IT knowledge. His consulting experience places him well to run, organise and manage disparate teams working cross-functionally, cross-culturally and internationally.

Ian ran a very complex international systems implementation project for me & did so admirably. He gained the trust of his team, business users and senior sponsors. The very nature of multinational projects is that of complexity, which Ian managed very effectively.

He can think strategically yet act tactically - wisely balancing project immediate needs with longer-term business strategic needs and available resource/budget.”

Testimonial from Eric Muhlheim,
SVP, Global Development at Disney English at Disney Publishing Worldwide:
“I hired Ian to perform a process analysis of the Disney English development organization and provide process improvement recommendations. Ian did a thorough job of interviewing all stakeholders, navigating the cross-cultural currents of our China-based organization with sensitivity, and quickly identifying gaps and opportunities. His working style was highly collaborative and he was highly responsive to guidance and constructive criticism
when offered. His ultimate analysis was comprehensive and his
recommendations were concrete and actionable, as promised. I would
look forward to working with him again under similar circumstances.”
