The operator behind Takuven
Frederic Duhamelle · Founder and Managing Director, Takuven · Singapore
For more than 25 years I have led pricing and commercial teams inside global industry leaders: global and regional pricing leadership at GE, Syngenta, Givaudan, Medtronic and DuPont, and most recently with BCG's APAC marketing, sales and pricing practice. Across those seats I priced more than $40 billion of cumulative revenues. As a Global Pricing Leader and as a Senior Advisor in a top consulting company, I helped companies drive superior commercial performance across 15+ industries.
Together with my teams I have delivered more than USD 1.7 billion of cumulative profit impact. I have led pricing teams of up to 40 professionals, built 61 pricing roles across industries and continents, chaired CEO-level pricing committees, and carry two corporate CEO awards: Givaudan's “Excellence in Execution” and GE's “Intensity”. Six Sigma certified. Executive MBA, ESCP Business School. A proud Singapore Permanent Resident, based in Singapore and working across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Why Takuven
Pricing excellence used to require data teams, pricing analysts, pricing leaders and heavy information technology infrastructure only large companies could afford. AI trained with deep subject matter expertise rewrote those economics.
Takuven is my operating experience, and that of my teams, productized: the discipline of a global pricing organization, delivered at SME weight, with AI doing the heavy lifting and experts making sure it works.
I stay personally involved in every client relationship and accountable for the robustness and reliability of the platform in development.
