I worked with Vik at Dow Corning on a number of Six Sigma projects. I find that Vik is a person that is passionate in everything he does. He is extremely capable in the use of Six Sigma methodology to drive improvement, not only in manufacturing circumstances, but especially in services where he has excellent capability to find client needs and get to root causes. Vik would be a strong asset to any organization that is looking for a passionate manager, especially when aligned to operational excellence
Jonathan Wright - Managing Director and Owner at Wright Holdings Pty Ltd
I met Vik at Emery Oleochemicals Group; as project owner, I worked closely with, Vik, an expert in the field of Operational Excellence, to embed Lean Six Sigma culture into our manufacturing and R&D functions. He identified quick wins and worked with management to unlock immediate value. Vik also worked tirelessly on embedding new research best practices in the R&D function to facilitate more effective research. Vik's expert knowledge in his field is impressive, I would recommend Vik to any organization that wants to drive Operational Excellence.

Vik trained the selected black belt team at Optus. He is an expert in this field as a trainer as well as understanding the reality of business and what works well. Not many people can teach and keep the class engaged in such a tough subject such as Six Sigma, and Vik does it very well.
Chaw Htay - Team Leader
I've been a Master Black Belt for nearly 12 years across different companies, and I can honestly say that Vik is one of the most balanced Master Black Belts I've known. He has a very strong knowledge base in statistical methods yet he is able to work his change management skills flawlessly as he aims to influence stakeholders at all levels. He is an effective communicator that knows that effective communication is not telling people what they want to hear, but what they need to hear in the interest of driving sustainable results. I highly recommend Vik for consideration as a Leader in your company!
Brad Whittaker - President at Brad Whittaker Inc & Associates | Lead Statistical Consultant
Vik Kortian is an outstanding certified Master Black Belt. He has superior experience in the practical application of advanced continuous improvement techniques in both business & manufacturering processes. In addition he is well versed and certified in the instruction of DMAIC, DFSS, and Lean methodologies. Vik has the distinct honor of being the APAC Quality Leader for the Unisys 6SL certification board. As the Senior Six Sigma Lean Deployment leader in Asia, he is responsible for leading and managing all of the quality initiatives in APAC. Initiatives that Vik has managed include the establishment of the APAC's strategy map and scorecard, the complete strategic reorganization of APAC, and the deployment of quality resources in Unisys client facing engagements. It is without reservation that I give my highest recommendation to Vik Kortian.
