Harinder Singh

Strategic Growth Operator

Ipoh / Chiang Mai / KL · Remote | | LinkedIn | GitHub

I build strategic frameworks and execution systems that turn broken growth into revenue. When startups hit walls (wrong GTM, no product-market fit, leaking CAC), I audit, diagnose, architect the fix, and implement it.
