Frequently Asked Questions
About the Book: What is The Accidental Partner about?
It's a memoir of my fifteen years inside elite consulting — the mentors, the mistakes, and the moments that actually shaped how I lead, most of which never made it into a performance review. It's not a leadership manual, and it isn't really about consulting. It's about the unscheduled, unglamorous apprenticeship that happens underneath a career.
About the Book: Do I need a consulting background to enjoy it?
Not at all. Readers have told me the lessons translate well beyond consulting — mentorship, humility, burnout, and figuring out who you are outside of work are things most careers eventually run into.
Getting the Book: Where can I buy it?
The eBook is available now on Amazon. The paperback is also available, with worldwide shipping.
If you'd like to compare prices across multiple retailers at once, check BookFinder.com — it searches many booksellers simultaneously and sometimes turns up a better deal than buying direct. ISBN: 978-981-947-214-7
Just paste this ISBN into BookFinder's search (or your preferred retailer's search bar) to find the exact edition.
Getting the Book: I heard Amazon purchases weren't working from Indonesia — is that fixed?
Yes, this should now be resolved. Amazon's eBook is purchasable from Indonesia.
Getting the Book: Can I get a digital copy directly from you?
Yes. You can purchase and download an instant digital copy (PDF) directly from this website.

Getting the Book: Will the book be available at retailers in Singapore and outside?
Distribution is gradually expanding through IngramSpark to retailers like Periplus and Kinokuniya. I don't yet have a firm timeline for when it'll appear on shelves in specific countries — I'll share updates as this develops.
Getting the Book: How can I get a signed copy?
Order directly through this website. Every copy shipped from here comes signed.
How can I contribute, if I'd like to?
You can find PayNow (Singapore) and bank transfer (Indonesia) details, along with a card payment option, on the Support page. Any amount is welcome — there's no fixed price.
Do proceeds go to charity?
Yes: All proceeds. The commercial sale of the book (e.g., via Amazon, from this website), and any support from you, goes to causes close to the book's own themes — education access, scholarship support, and mental health initiatives.
