See the sunrise, not just the slide deck.

​

Ascension Associates is a boutique leadership and strategy consultancy where a lean team makes global impact, by partnering with institutions reimagine the way they learn, lead and make decisions over time. Hong Kong based, global reach.

We help institutions think in decades, not quarters—supporting boards, family enterprises and mission‑driven organisations with clearer conversations, better structures and braver leadership. Our see the whole picture philosophy help us have the real conversation, and move forward with more  daylight and less drama. Our clients come from B2B regulated industries such as medical device and financial institutions.

​

Years in executive search with regulated industries trained us to notice patterns in people and systems, read what is unsaid, and ask the questions that surface real fit and real risk.

That same lens now sits underneath all our work at Ascension Associates — from strategy and governance, to team workshops, to executive coaching.

Our clients work with us when they need their leadership, culture and governance to match the scale of their ambitions. They know the importance of balance between quarterly earnings and leaving legacy that stays after 100 years. ​​​They are willing to trade a little comfort for a lot more clarity, and would rather have one straight‑talk partner than three glossy vendors​.

​​​​​​

We are deliberately staying lean, which means we can stay close to the work, move quickly when you need a sounding board (not a six‑week proposal), and say “no” to work that isn’t our strength so we can say a better “yes” to the right briefs. 

​

When our clients brief us for long‑term change and real decisions, that's our jam.
