Our coach

Emmanuel Setyawan is the owner and founder of Accolade Coaching, an innovation coaching firm established in 2012.

With a background in corporate roles at News Ltd, PwC Australia, and Blue Ocean Strategy Australia, Emmanuel brings extensive experience coaching organizations of all sizes—from startups to global corporations—on how to build innovation resilience and long-term strategic agility.

He is a certified Strategyzer coach — one of only a handful in the Asia-Pacific region — representing the company behind the widely adopted Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas. Strategyzer is globally recognized for its structured, data-driven approach to strategy, business design, and innovation—enabling organizations to design, test, and scale sustainable business models.

In addition to delivering innovation programs through Accolade Coaching, Emmanuel is regularly engaged by Strategyzer to support their clients and is an authorized program licensee, able to deliver workshops and advisory services powered by the Strategyzer platform.

Emmanuel is also available for fractional innovation executive roles, supporting organizations that require senior-level innovation leadership on a flexible basis. These engagements are ideal for businesses seeking to embed innovation strategy, guide cross-functional teams, or build internal innovation capabilities without the commitment of a full-time hire.

If you’re looking to strengthen your company’s innovation leadership and build your next growth engine, reach out to Emmanuel to explore how he can help your business thrive.
