The "OG'' Fixer

I’m Teivian, a Project Management Consultant, founder of Primal Origins and Unorthodox PM, and author of 'Becoming a Fixer'. With over a decade of experience spanning industries like Technology, Human Resources (HR), Finance, Training, and Management Consulting, I’ve carved out a space as someone who thrives on solving complex problems; what I call being a "Fixer."

I’ve had the privilege of leading high-impact projects for clients such as Johnson & Johnson, Comfort Delgro, National Healthcare Group (NHG), United Overseas Bank (UOB), and MINDEF. These experiences have honed my ability to guide cross-functional and cross-regional teams through the challenges of scaling operations, building Project Management Offices (PMOs), and navigating digital transformation.

My approach is far from traditional. Through Unorthodox PM, I offer tailored, end-to-end project management solutions designed specifically for organizations in Australia, New Zealand, and across the APAC region. I focus on optimizing processes, coaching leaders, and empowering teams to not just manage projects, but to solve problems and scale effectively, all while staying true to the bigger picture.

In my book, Becoming a Fixer, I share the lessons and strategies I’ve developed throughout my career for anyone looking to go beyond their job title and become an indispensable problem-solver in their organisation. It’s a blueprint for anyone who wants to take on more than just a role, someone who steps up to fix what’s broken and drive meaningful change.

Whether you’re looking to revamp your project management structure, scale your business, or empower your team to think and act like Fixers, I’m here to help. I’m passionate about creating lasting impact and helping others discover their own potential as Fixers.

Teivian is one of the most solid, dependable people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has the rare capability to cut through complex projects and business challenges, quickly work out what needs to be done and which stakeholders need to be engaged, and then work at speed to get through an astonishing list of project tasks very quickly. He has been the most calm, pragmatic, steadfast member of our APAC team, hugely respected by his APAC colleagues, as well as by his stakeholders in our UK head office. I highly recommend him for any Project Manager roles, and with his level of commitment to the job in hand, the next company he works for will be extremely lucky to have him.
