Stervey Lim

Stervey Lim helps organisations navigate the pressures of ESG compliance, workforce disconnection, and AI disruption—not by throwing more frameworks at the problem, but by reconnecting leadership to emotional fluency. Based in Singapore and working across the ASEAN region, he brings three decades of experience in business transformation, now focused on helping both executives and employees shift from rigid mindsets to adaptive, human-centred ways of working.

As CEO of AMM-AI Advisory and former Director of EQ Business at Six Seconds Asia Pacific, Stervey delivers ESG advisory, carbon credit education, GenAI readiness, and EQ leadership training across corporate and government sectors. Whether he’s facilitating board-level sustainability conversations or guiding overwhelmed professionals to reclaim their agency at work, his message stays the same: the future of business requires a different kind of intelligence, one rooted in empathy, not just efficiency.

Stervey’s perspective is shaped by profoundly human experiences. Ten years ago, he was incarcerated. Re-entry into the workforce wasn’t guaranteed, and rebuilding his career meant relearning everything—about systems, about leadership, and about himself. The experience left him with a sharper sense of what people need when their roles, values, or industries are in flux, and why systems designed around control often fail the humans inside them. His upcoming book, Shadows to Sustainability, draws from that journey to speak to a broader audience reckoning with disruption.

On podcasts, Stervey speaks to the future of leadership, the emotional realities of workplace change, and the cultural nuances often overlooked in global ESG strategy. He’s particularly interested in sparking more open dialogue within Asian work cultures, where respect and hierarchy can sometimes silence the voices most ready to lead. Stervey brings insight shaped by lived experience, a cross-sector lens on business change, and a voice that speaks equally to leaders and the people they’re responsible for.
