The Tarsus Loop
Five-spice duck spring roll with plum reduction — a marathon of acquisitions
Every new show had to be bought, launched, and run well enough to keep the lights on.
Why this bite? Tarsus was a marathon of acquisitions across continents. This multi-spice spring roll is that global portfolio in one bite.
The Story
Tarsus stretched across beauty, healthcare, aviation, infrastructure, packaging, homewares, sustainability, and fashion — a marathon of acquisitions, each mile another learning curve. This five-spice duck spring roll with plum reduction captures that relentless expansion: each roll a different territory, the plum sauce the sweetness of deals closed across continents.
