Hank Fan / Founder

I’m Hank. I started Northlink to help turn complicated business questions into work a team can act on.

My background combines economics and management studies with project experience in stakeholder research, business analysis, reporting and operations. I bring that perspective to focused projects, with clear boundaries around the work.

Scope for Good is where I’m starting: partnering with nonprofit and community teams on a useful, manageable challenge. Alongside it, I’m developing the concept for Ovranta, a self-serve AI research product for cross-border business decisions.

How we work together

Small scope.
Something you can use.

We agree on one decision, a manageable scope and a useful handover. Timing depends on the work and available capacity.

  1. 01

    Start with a question

    Talk through what’s happening, the decision ahead and the people it affects.

  2. 02

    Agree the boundaries

    Confirm the deliverables, responsibilities, access, confidentiality and timeline in writing.

  3. 03

    Build the evidence

    Use focused research and working sessions. Check emerging findings with your team.

  4. 04

    Make the handover useful

    Leave a practical tool or recommendation, clear owners and agreed next steps.

A useful first conversation

What’s on your mind?

A rough question is enough. Tell me what your organization is working through, or what you would want from a market-research tool.
