About Seventy-Seven

Erik Man

"

International growth isn't about markets. It's about people, trust and execution.

Seventy-Seven was founded on the belief that international growth only works when strategy, trust and execution come together.

I am Erik Man, an international business professional with more than two decades of experience in services, commercial growth and strategic advisory.

My strength lies in connecting people, markets and opportunities. With European business experience and Asian heritage, I help companies find the right direction, partners and approach.

Seventy-Seven is not a traditional consultancy. It is a personal sparring partner for entrepreneurs, SMEs and leaders who want to grow internationally with a pragmatic and trusted guide by their side.

Methodology

My approach

A clear process that turns strategy into movement.

01

1. Understand

First, your ambition, market, customers and desired outcome. No standard model, but a clear picture of what is truly needed.

02

2. Sharpen

Then comes focus: which markets, partners and actions deserve priority? This makes international growth clear and actionable.

03

3. Connect & execute

Finally, execution: introductions, partner conversations, structure and follow-up, with hands-on guidance towards results.

One partner, two worlds

Why Seventy-Seven?

Because international growth requires more than advice. It requires business understanding, bridge-building and pragmatic execution.
