MarTech & AI transformation, APAC

Your MarTech & AI can do more than your team does with it.

The gap is often organisational, rarely just technical. I lead the transition on both sides and take direct accountability for closing it.

Deep MarTech expertise plus a real grasp of the human side of change. That’s exactly what most transformations are missing.
Koen Koppens Koen Koppens Co-Founder, Relay42
Max never stopped at the technology. He cared about whether our team could really use it.
Chawanrat Trekarnjanavong Chawanrat Trekarnjanavong Director of Customer Research and Data Analysis, PTG Energy
He was always focused on the harder question: would the client’s team actually adopt and use what we built?

Why IMPAKT9

Why teams bring me in.

From the inside

I watched dozens of enterprise programmes succeed or stall from inside a CDP vendor. I know where they break.

Built for APAC

Fragmented privacy rules, distributed teams, and real distance between global standards and local execution.

Depth over volume

I stay close to the work on every engagement. Client data is anonymised before any AI tool touches it, and processed on infrastructure I control.

The I2I-9 method

Three modular stages

Read about the method
1

Insight

Find the leaks: the technical, data and adoption gaps that hinder programmes and waste budget.

Standalone: Audit Sprint
2

Action

Build the roadmap, and the stack where useful: architecture and plans tied to your APAC goals.

Standalone: AI Readiness Workshop or implementation
3

Impact

Embed the change: I lead execution, measure adoption and build the habits that make it pay back.

Standalone: Change Leadership Masterclass

When a MarTech or AI programme has stalled, whether it's a CDP, marketing automation, cross-channel personalisation, or an agentic-AI rollout, I run a short, intensive diagnosis: where the data is leaking, where the architecture is wrong, and, usually the real culprit, where the people and processes never caught up with the technology. You come out with a clear picture of what's broken and a recovery plan worth acting on.

Both are true, and the second is why I do the first. Across a decade of enterprise transformations the breakdown was almost never integration. It was adoption: the team that bought the platform was rarely the team expected to use it. Most implementation partners hand over a working stack and leave at go-live, which is exactly how the programmes I get called in to rescue ended up stalling. When the same person owns the build and the adoption, the build gets designed around how the team will actually work.

The human side is the core of it, but led by someone who built and ran a real-time CDP practice, not a facilitator with a generic playbook. I start from your architecture, carry accountability for execution, and bring a structured behavioural method (ICF-accredited Positive Psychology coaching), not intuition. Change management is applied from the outside. This is done from the inside.
