The operator behind Takuven

Frederic Duhamelle · Founder & Managing Director, Takuven · Singapore

Frederic Duhamelle

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, in 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.

Certified Pricing Professional · 200/200

The Professional Pricing Society's CPP designation, earned with the maximum score of 200 out of 200. Distinguished Faculty Member of the PPS.

Why Takuven

Pricing excellence used to require data teams and infrastructure only large companies could afford. AI rewrote those economics. Takuven is my operating experience productized: the discipline of a global pricing organization, delivered at SME weight, with AI doing the heavy lifting. I stay personally involved in every client relationship.
