Mumbai: Wolfzhowl, a 13-year-old brand and consumer strategy consultancy known for blending strategy with sentient technology under its proprietary #StraTech framework, has announced its expansion into Southeast Asia and Australia. This strategic move marks a major milestone in the company’s journey to take its behavior- and tech-led approach to new global markets.
To lead this ambitious growth, Wolfzhowl has appointed Waheed Bidiwale as Global CEO and Jean Paul as CEO, Southeast Asia, with Singapore established as the regional hub for operations.
Waheed Bidiwale, who was most recently the Global CSO at Verticurl, brings over two decades of global leadership in martech, data, and AI. His experience spans across Australia, the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. At Wolfzhowl, he will lead the global charge to scale the #Stratech vision and further cement the firm’s position as a forward-thinking partner for brands undergoing strategic transformation.
Jean Paul, an APAC industry veteran with leadership stints at Publicis, Omnicom, and Dentsu, will drive Wolfzhowl’s growth in Southeast Asia. With over 20 years of experience orchestrating people, products, and profits across complex markets, Jean will focus on expanding the consultancy’s presence and influence in the region.
Commenting on the expansion, Kalyan Ram Challapalli, Founder & Strategy Chief, Wolfzhowl, said, “Our Australia & Southeast Asia entry is a critical chapter in Wolfzhowl’s evolution. With Waheed and Jean onboard, we are ready to scale our Stratech philosophy to a new breed of clients looking for insight & tech transformation.”
Waheed Bidiwale, Global CEO, added, “I’m thrilled to join Wolfzhowl at such a pivotal time. We’re here to prove that businesses don’t just grow when strategy meets technology; they transform. Stratech is more than a methodology; it’s a movement.”
Jean Paul, CEO, Southeast Asia, shared, “Southeast Asia is full of ambition and complexity, and that’s exactly where orchestration thinking thrives. I’m excited to shape Wolfzhowl’s growth here and help brands win by being behavior-led and tech-enabled.”
With this bold expansion and leadership reinforcement, Wolfzhowl is poised to bring its unique blend of cultural insight, behavioral strategy, and technological scalability to the global stage—helping brands not only grow but evolve.
