He experimented the high risk life of business by quitting Citibank and starting off in 2008 by helping a leadership training organization called PeoplePro in developing their business and expanding it. In the year 2009 he started off Carrier Graph Consulting that ventured into along human resource consulting business.

And it was when the seeds of a new beginning by consolidating all the experiences struck him as few of the crucial improvement programs shared and implemented were not given heed too and taken in. And since the other directors of Franchise Connect and Alphabiz had their own thought processes, Stephen decided to float a new venture with a fresh set of management that would stand as a team.

It was at this point his close friends joined him. Jullian who had been a veteran in the education industry joined him in the venture as the co founder and director. He added in a vast resources in terms of contacts, networks and trusted investors that would become the foundation of a new beginning.

And the other person who had supported them from the beginning and began to head the education vertical was Godfrey Fernandez. A passionate speaker and a interesting individual, he helped crystallize the people development vertical that became to be know as Institute for Global Leadership. Raising from humble beginnings, he started off as a courier delivery boy in Blue Dart in 2000 after his graduation to explore work life. And his first break through came in six months where he was selected for an opening as a front desk officer among 60 other odd employees who where more experienced in the organisation. This opened up his horizons and made him think wider. He quit his job and entered into main line business development career where he devoted to building organisations through the years.

Post his exit in Citibank, he started as Business Head was promoted as the Head of International Business in 2011 and elevated as the Vice President of APAC Business in 2012, where he left PeoplePro to join Franchise Connect as a full time Director and develop it.
