Resume

Bryan Lum

Founder, Urban Makers · ex-Strategy Consultant, FTI Delta

I run Urban Makers, an interior design company in Singapore, where I am incorporating AI into every layer of the designer and client experience. Before this, I spent six years in telecommunications strategy consulting at FTI Delta, leading international engagements and working with senior leadership to drive key business decisions under demanding timelines.

Experience

Founder · Urban Makers

2025 – Present

Singapore

  • Run an interior design and renovation firm end to end: design direction, project management, safety, documentation, and client management across concurrent residential projects.
  • Build the company’s AI-enabled tooling in-house — a client portal and designer portal covering quotations, variation orders, approvals, and project timelines — replacing the need for third-party ERP software.
  • Encode the firm’s lessons learned into an AI-layered knowledge base that delivers contextual, just-in-time guidance to designers and new teammates.

Engagement Manager · FTI Delta (formerly Delta Partners)

  • Delivered projects for leading telcos and data services providers across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia — spanning digital infrastructure, go-to-market, media and video strategy, customer value management, and commercial and technical due diligence.
  • Worked directly with senior leadership — boards of directors, C-suite, and government bodies — to drive key business decisions, from a mobile gaming joint venture launch in Indonesia to a Saudi Arabia smart city strategy and fiber transactions in Europe.
  • Built a track record of solving complex problems under high pressure, leading PMOs of 50+ initiatives and cross-border teams while investing in the strengths of the people around me.
