Kunal Narula - CEO Mercantile Pacific

Christian’s strategic vision to dominate South-East Asia’s growth economies was the catalyst that transformed our partnership. He saw our potential and entrusted us with the volumes that made us a top-tier distributor. This was more than a vendor relationship; it was a strategic alliance built on his demand for operational precision, which forced us to elevate our entire logistics and forecasting engine. His foresight was most evident when he championed us as the launch partner for Apple’s Certified Refurbished program, providing the guidance to establish the rigorous quality controls that uphold the Apple brand. Christian didn’t just manage a region; he architected its future, and we were privileged to be his builders.

Christian is one of the few minds I trust to pressure-test a world-changing idea, moving seamlessly from a strategic whiteboard session to violent execution. He possesses the rarest combination: the mind of a futurist and the relentless drive of an operator. But unlike many futurists who are artists, Christian is an engineer. He builds pragmatic, revenue-generating bridges from the present to the future, making the next horizon bankable today. A true force of nature.
