About

Built on Luxury.
Powered by AI.

Papillon Unlimited Consulting was founded on a simple conviction: the best retail training and AI strategy aren't separate disciplines — they're one. Chery Ng brings a rare intersection of prestige beauty expertise and genuine AI fluency that few consultants can claim.

With senior APAC leadership roles at Estée Lauder Companies and L'Occitane Groupe, Chery has shaped retail education strategy across 17 markets, trained over 2,000 frontline staff, and driven measurable results — from 13% sales productivity uplift to 90% CSAT scores.

Today, that same precision is applied to AI training, agentic workflow design, and e-learning architecture for global and regional brands ready to evolve.
