About Carine Tan
I’ve spent 18 years helping brands like Nike, adidas, Sephora, and Hasbro grow across Asia-Pacific, leading brand, merchandising, go-to-market, and commercial strategy at scale. Over the years I’ve learned that strategy alone does not drive growth. Real growth happens when strategy is brought to life through seamless execution and experienced by customers in the market.
What drives me is curiosity about what makes customers click. Why they choose one product over another. What builds their trust. How a brand can earn a place in their everyday lives. These questions shape the way I work with companies today.
Through Chain of Thought (CoT), I offer both fractional leadership and consultancy expertise. I step in when brands need clarity and momentum, sharpening brand positioning, driving go-to-market excellence, and accelerating category and market expansion. My approach blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, working alongside teams to deliver results that last.
I also use digital and AI tools where they add value, applying them in practical ways to help brands show up more effectively for their customers and uncover new opportunities for growth.
