Partners

Expansion Asia is part of a large network of qualified individuals and companies with extensive experiences and competencies within all expert fields needed to support market entries, business transformations and corporate transactions for most industries. Instead of having large number of employees and costly fixed overheads, we prefer to engage the right people with the skills needed for each assignment from our network. In this way, we secure that we can deliver the best possible outcome at competitive fees. This is also illustrated in our billing philosophy which usually is success fee based. We like having a skin in the game and be accountable for the results of our clients.

Key partners in Expansion Asia are Ulf Backlund and Christian Prokscha. In addition, we have several very competent associated partners with complimentary competencies from various backgrounds - all with successful backgrounds from either senior corporate or management consultant roles.
