OUR STORY
Exponasia Growth Partners was founded in Singapore in 2024 by Giuseppe Di Lieto, following more than two decades in senior commercial and operating roles with multinational industrial companies and extensive experience across Asia.
The firm was created around a practical observation: mid-market companies and regional subsidiaries often face opportunities and challenges requiring senior experience and hands-on execution, but may not need a large consulting team or a permanent executive appointment.
Exponasia Growth Partners provides a flexible alternative, combining advisory, implementation consulting and fractional or interim leadership. We work alongside management teams to advance critical growth and commercial initiatives across Southeast Asia, with the scope and level of involvement matched to the client’s needs.
WE ARE DRIVEN BY SOLID AND POWERFUL VALUES
OPERATIONAL MODEL
Market entry, expansion and commercial improvement initiatives may require expertise across several disciplines. Exponasia Growth Partners maintains overall project leadership and provides a single point of coordination throughout the engagement. Where specialist input is required and agreed with the client, we draw on a trusted network of experienced former executives, independent specialists and professional firms. Depending on the scope, this may include trade and regulatory advice, risk advisory, corporate services, accounting, tax, legal, market research, recruitment and HR support. The specialist team is assembled around the specific requirements of each project.
