"Unrivalled domain expertise, industry influence and insight."

"I have known Charles for a little over a year and when it comes to bringing industry insights on a broad range of topics; one really does not need to look further. Charles has a solid understanding of the complex landscape of technology and trends across south-east Asia. Along with his expertise, he brings forward a view that is honest reflection, which is much needed in an industry that is often bullish and biased on their products.

I have had Charles come across to events where he has hosted round-tables, panels and he has a natural tendency to be grounded to the audience which allows a powerful, open dialogue regardless of the topic or forum. Always a pleasure to have Charles as part of our engagements and look forward to many more this year."

"It is always amazing to listen to the countless examples of applications and solutions Charles has picked up through his interactions with the IoT industry’s movers and shakers. Especially impressive is his ability to crystallise large amounts of information into actionable insights for the benefit of his clients. If you need somebody to make sense of the IoT, Charles is your guy."

"Charles has been very observant with the trends of international IoT industries, and that makes the conversation with him full of precious knowledge and great insights. We are glad that he has paid attention on the efforts and development of smart city work in Taipei City and given us not only positive comments but also significant advices. Charles is a great ambassador who employs his witty sense of humour when delivering his pointed views to IoT, mobility and digital fields."

"Charles and I have worked together in two capacities, the first being an adviser to me regarding IOT and the second as a keynote speaker at events that Samsung facilitates. Charles is without a doubt the go to guy for IoT. His knowledge and understanding is second to none. He's an excellent public speaker also and a great guy to top it off."

"It is rare to come across an IoT “thought leader” who not only understands the latest technology trends and their impact on the global and Asian markets, but also has the ability to explain them in a simple and powerful way. Charles’ pragmatic approach to explaining how the latest IoT trends and technologies will impact the business and operating models of companies across the IoT ecosystem allows him to deliver realistic, actionable insights to his audiences. Charles is without a doubt the best IoT keynote speaker in the market."

"During Acer’s “New Si-Vilization” event in Taipei where Charles was a keynote speaker, Charles demonstrated not only solid knowledge on the subject of Smart Cities through the application of IoT, but also a strong vision on the developments in this area. Charles turned out to be a charismatic speaker, able to capture the imagination of our audience on what the future in our cities behold for us"

"Charles brings a refreshing perspective to the world of IoT and is not taken in by the hype. He is often a contrarian and in a market driven by hype, this is stimulating. Charles presents his findings with detailed quantitative research and knowledge that goes beyond your typical analyst. His understanding of the market from “sensors to platforms” is unparalleled in the analyst world. Charles would be my "go to" guy for market perspectives on IoT."

"Charles is definitely the thought leader on IoT, mobility and digital transformation in Asia Pacific who I typically check in with. He has a strong understanding of the global business & execution models that relate new technologies to digital disruption and how these apply to the Asian market. His analytical and foresight to think a few steps ahead are essential to businesses like ours that are looking to increase their value to customers. He is a great professional and I highly recommend working with Charles."

"I have been engaging with Charles since IoT was at its early stages. Charles’ views on the IoT industry are visionary yet pragmatic. His knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of the IoT solution vendors - combined with his understanding of the market demand - ensures his perspectives on the industry are enriching and a source of inspiration. He manages to separate the IoT hype from the tangible opportunities, which helps vendors and customers understand what is possible today – and what will be possible in the future.

Charles is a fantastic keynote speaker and panel moderator. In each event we leveraged his services, the attendee feedback was that his message was “spot on” in terms of the market trends and explaining Dimension Data’s role in the IoT ecosystem. It’s always a pleasure to work with a professional like Charles!"

"Charles has possibly the most unique & candid insights into IoT in Asia. He grasps the changing landscape and does not mince words when it comes to stating facts. "
