As CEO of UTV International, Senior Manager of Corporate Planning and Business Development at Singapore Press Holdings, Chairman of The Right Angle Group of Companies and today, as CEO of Strategic Moves, Viswa's insight into financial, business and general management issues provides him with the apposite credibility for advising kinetic organisation in the new economy.

He was engaged by SIA in the aftermath of the SilkAir MI185 crash in 1997, to provide counsel on its positioning and messaging strategies; and by the Ministry of Transport in 2002 to develop its strategy and coach its top level officials in their roles as panellists in the SQ 006 Final Report press conference.

As Strategic Advisor over the entire 15-month bidding process, Viswa helped Las Vegas Sands Corp win the Marina Bay Integrated Resort bid in Singapore, deemed one of the largest Integrated Resort & Casino developments in the world to be constructed at a cost of SGD 6 billion. Recently, Viswa also consulted for SingaporeGold, one of three consortia invited to submit tenders to design, build and manage Singapore's SGD 800 million Sports Hub due for completion in 2011.
