Marcus Lim Yi Ping is the Founder & CEO of Vault Corporation, a Singapore-headquartered consultancy purpose-built for the firms whose revenue runs through ultra-high-net-worth clients. Founded in 2020, Vault is the commercial vehicle for what twenty-five years of carrying the UHNW pipeline personally taught Marcus across Asia Pacific’s most demanding premium sales floors. His operating apprenticeship spans Las Vegas Sands (Director, International Sales & Commercial Division, 2009–2011 — Singapore, Macau, Las Vegas), Crown Resorts (Vice President, 2011–2015 — AUD 2B turnover (~AUD 27M revenue)), and The Star Entertainment Group (President, International Sales & Commercial Division, 2016–2020 — AUD 45B turnover (~AUD 605M revenue), 200-person commercial division). The peak year contributed to a reported AUD 59.6B in turnover (~AUD 805M revenue), AUD 13B above the year-to-date board budget. Other career highlights include recovering Crown’s annual market share from AUD 0.5B → 2.8B turnover (~AUD 7M → 38M revenue) across four consecutive years without debt funding; SGD 100M+ in new business closed within sixty days of Marina Bay Sands opening; and HKD 34B in Macau premium-direct turnover, holding the #1 market position. He is the author of How to Hook a Whale (Marshall Cavendish Business, 2022), the foundational text of the HARVEST methodology that underpins the Vault practice. The Taiwan foreign-rights edition 讓鯨魚上鉤 was acquired and translated by 大是文化 (BIZ #309, translated by 曾秀鈴) — a publisher-acquired deal rather than a self-translated derivative. His self-published The Upper Hand reframes the client-side perspective on strategic advantage in demanding sales environments. Secret Sauce for Sales is forthcoming. Vault Corporation’s methodology spine is HARVEST — the proprietary seven-stage revenue framework (Hunt, Attract, Research, Value, Engage, Secure, Tend) — integrated with the WHALE Code™, Vault’s trademarked five-axis client-profiling system. The integration is the structural moat: HARVEST diagnoses the operator side, the WHALE Code overlays the client side, and the matched output tells institutions not just what is leaking but who on the team to send to each named whale. Vault’s clients span private banking, family offices, integrated resorts, luxury maisons, and premium real estate — the category Vault works is the buyer profile, not the industry. Marcus holds an Executive MBA (2013) from Singapore Management University, completed in conjunction with The Wharton School, Peking University, and the Indian School of Business. He speaks English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Teochew, with basic Japanese. Earlier in his career he founded and exited two ventures (Tension Inc., 3× exit; Punggol Sea Sports, 10× exit) before moving into the integrated-resort sector. He is based in Singapore.

Cleared quotes from Marcus.

A small library of on-the-record positions from Marcus that journalists are welcome to use with attribution. For freshly-tailored commentary on a developing story, reach out to the press contact — Marcus typically responds within twenty-four hours.

"DISC tells you who you are. The WHALE Code™ tells you who they are. The first is necessary. The second is what wins the deal."

Marcus Lim · Vault Corporation

"Most failing sales operations are diagnosed publicly as having Behavioural leaks when the true category is Cultural. Training applied to a cultural problem produces ninety days of improvement followed by full reversion."

Marcus Lim · Vault Corporation

"Eighty-one percent of inheritors switch handlers within one to two years of inheritance. That is not a soft retention risk. It is the most under-priced structural exposure on every UHNW book in APAC right now."

Marcus Lim · Vault Corporation

"Vault does not sell training. We sell the diagnostic that tells you whether training is even the right intervention. If the leak is structural, the worst thing we can do is sell you a programme."
