I’m rebranding my newsletter and moving to Substack.
When I first started writing, I called it The Supply Chain & Startup Insider.
It made sense at the time. Supply chain and startups have been my world for the last few years ever since we started Shoppable.
But as the newsletter grew, something became clear:
The conversations I’ve been having with founders, operators, and builders across Southeast Asia?
They go way beyond just supply chain and startups.
It’s:
How to scale teams in SEA
How to move from founder-led chaos to operational excellence
How BPOs, eCommerce brands, and SaaS companies are scaling smarter in this region
How operators like you are fighting daily battles and looking for real-world playbooks
That’s when it hit me.
This newsletter isn’t just about supply chain or startups.
It’s about the operators in the trenches, scaling businesses in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
So today, I’m renaming the newsletter to:
Operator Insider: SEA Edition
Real-world tactics & insights for scaling businesses in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Here’s what stays the same:
✅ Field-tested playbooks from building and scaling companies in SEA
✅ Zero fluff. Just real, actionable insights
✅ Stories from inside B2B, SaaS, eCommerce, BPO, and supply chain ops
Here’s what’s new:
✅ A sharper lens on SEA operators and builders
✅ Frameworks for scaling smarter, no matter your industry
✅ Lessons learned from both wins and failures across the region
And one more thing:
We’re moving from LinkedIn as our main content channel to Substack, so make sure you subscribe (it’s free) to keep getting the latest posts straight to your inbox.
If you’re an operator scaling in Southeast Asia, this is your playbook.
Let’s build.🚀
