This project was not only a professional milestone but also a significant step in my personal growth as a leader.
Role
Kylie served as APAC Expansion Lead for Bluecrux, based in Singapore.
Responsibilities
Her assignment began with four strategic pillars: conducting market research across key APAC countries, crafting a go-to-market plan, supporting client implementations, and developing a scale-up proposal for the region. Midway through the year, her focus shifted from exploration to execution. Kylie built brand recognition from scratch, organized regional events, contributed to the hiring of local team members in Singapore and Australia, and helped transition Bluecrux from market entry to operational presence in Asia.
