We started OPEXA in 2018 because we kept seeing the same pattern. Big-4 firms would arrive with playbooks. Boutique firms would arrive with personalities. Both would leave behind reports. Neither would leave behind capability.
We built OPEXA to leave behind capability. To embed for the full engagement window. To audit our own work twelve months later. To say no to engagements we can’t deliver. And to do all of this in the industries we know better than anyone — apparel, food & beverage, automotive, logistics, and industrial manufacturing across South Asia and ASEAN.
Founding Partner — Strategy & Operations
Twenty-two years in operations leadership across apparel, food, and industrial manufacturing. Former COO at a regional manufacturing group; led three full-network operational transformations before founding OPEXA.
Founding Partner — Process & Capability
Eighteen years across process transformation, supply chain, and capability building. Former Director at a Big-4 advisory practice. Built three internal change-agent academies before designing OPEXA's signature program.
Founding Partner — Industry & Insight
Sixteen years across industrial research, sector analysis, and policy. Former lead of industrial sector practice at a regional research institute. Author of three books on Asian manufacturing competitiveness.
Our consultants live on-site for the engagement window. Daily floor presence is non-negotiable.
Every engagement gets an independent audit at month twelve — verified or not.
We say no to engagements outside our five industries. We name peer firms when better fits exist.
Every engagement leaves behind a trained internal change-agent cohort. Visible work in visible places.
Every assumption, every metric, every decision — recorded and shared with the client team.
We work where the work happens. We also report where decisions get made.
