Who we are

Salamander Advisory is a collective of seasoned technology executives, entrepreneurs, and operational specialists who have built, scaled, exited, and acquired companies around the world. We bring that experience to early and growth-stage B2B technology business—and increasingly, to large tech incumbents navigating complex growth, channel, and acquisition challenges. Knowing that exceptional founders can come from anywhere with any background, we operate across 14 countries on 4 continents. Founded in Singapore and a presence spanning across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, India, Dubai, South Africa, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark and United Kingdom. This global footprint gives us the perspective and proximity needed to help companies tackle market expansion, strengthen operating models, and secure sustainable growth. 

We value integrity, adaptability, collaboration, foresight, and responsible growth. We’re open, practical, and curious. Working closely with clients to solve real problems and build lasting impact. At the helm of Salamander Advisory is Bill Padfield, whose leadership and decades of operating experience shape our commitment to pragmatic, founder-first advisory.
Together, we’re here to help founders turn ambition into momentum.

Core Values

At Salamander Advisory, we believe in keeping things clear, honest, and practical. These values guide how we work with each other and with every client. 

01

Integrity and Honesty

We do what’s right, even when it’s hard. We’re open and direct in how we communicate — no jargon, no hidden agendas. 

02

Adaptability and Curiosity

We stay flexible and keep learning. Every client is different, so we listen, think creatively, and adapt fast. 

03

Collaboration and Partnership

We work with our clients, not just for them. We share ideas, tackle problems together, and celebrate results as a team. 

04

Forward Thinking

We look ahead, not just at what’s in front of us. We help clients plan for what’s next — not only to grow, but to stay relevant. 

05

Responsible Growth

We care about doing things the right way. We aim for progress that’s sustainable, fair, and built to last.
