Overview: Dynamic business growth coach who helps SMEs and entrepreneurs expand across Southeast Asia through strategic partnerships, regional licensing, and business development support.

Industry: Business Consulting, Regional Expansion & Entrepreneurship

Professional Experience: Gloria has extensive experience in business development, regional market expansion, strategic partnerships, SME consulting, and cross-border collaboration across Southeast Asia. Through Royal Consulting International, she has supported businesses in navigating regional opportunities, networking ecosystems, and market entry strategies.

About her: Gloria Soo is a Singapore-based business growth coach and entrepreneur passionate about helping SMEs scale sustainably across Southeast Asia. Known for her energetic and relationship-driven approach, she focuses on connecting businesses with the right partners, opportunities, and strategies to grow beyond their local markets.

Over the years, Gloria developed strong expertise in regional business ecosystems and became highly involved in networking, collaboration, and business matchmaking initiatives. She believes growth is not just about sales, but also about building meaningful relationships, adaptability, and long-term regional positioning.

Turning point: A major turning point came when Gloria realised many SMEs struggled to expand regionally despite having strong products or services. She noticed that business owners often lacked market knowledge, trusted connections, and strategic guidance when entering Southeast Asian markets.

This inspired her to focus her work on helping businesses bridge those gaps through mentorship, partnerships, and regional expansion support. Her experiences working with diverse businesses across SEA markets further strengthened her expertise and consulting direction.

What she does now: Today, Gloria leads Royal Consulting International, where she supports entrepreneurs and SMEs in regional market expansion, strategic networking, partnership building, and business growth planning across Southeast Asia. She also participates actively in business communities, mentorship initiatives, and entrepreneurial ecosystems while continuing to advocate collaboration-driven business growth.
