Adrian Tan — CEO
I became "virtually unemployable" by choice. After a decade of running my own HR businesses and winning "HR Vendor of the Year," I realised the corporate hamster wheel wasn't for me. At my last interview, the hiring manager was worried about my "influencer status." They were right to be worried—I was already building my own door instead of knocking on theirs. Today, I live at the intersection of HR Tech, Content, and Solopreneurship. My mission is two-fold: For the Aspiring Solopreneur: I wrote "No More Bosses" (published by Penguin Random House) to help mid-career professionals break free and find sustainable self-employment. For HR Tech Founders: I provide the "traffic" and the "strategy." I help growth-stage vendors reach CHROs and HR leaders through fractional CMO services and high-impact B2B content (podcasts, video, and writing). Why work with me? Ranked #1 HR Influencer in Singapore by Favikon. 12+ years of creating #FutureOfWork content with 2M+ views. Former HR Founder who knows how to scale from zero to $30M in placements. Host of the "Rolling Stories" podcast, interviewing the top CHROs in the region. How we can collaborate: 📚 READ: Pick up my latest book, "No More Bosses," to start your own solo journey. 📩 SUBSCRIBE: Join 16k+ professionals in my newsletter for weekly insights on work. 🎙️ PARTNER: Visit my Passionfroot page to see my media kit for podcast sponsorships and B2B content collaborations. Note: My Fractional CMO services are currently at near-capacity. I accept only one new client per quarter to ensure deep impact. Connect with me: adrian@adriantan.com.sg
