What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a regional commercial growth or solution advisory role where I can use data-guided prioritization, monetization strategy, stakeholder alignment, and change management to deliver scalable growth across diverse APAC markets.

I've led solution advisory and commercial growth engagements for VeriPark, Strands, Qlik, and SAS across APAC, helping enterprise banks, telcos, and retailers turn AI, analytics, CRM, and digital banking capabilities into measurable business outcomes. My work has supported more than USD 26M in enterprise deal and revenue impact across Thailand, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.

I translate complex customer, operational, and commercial data into clear growth strategies, value-based business cases, executive narratives, and practical adoption programs. I enjoy aligning business, product, technical, delivery, and country stakeholders around high-impact use cases that improve customer engagement, retention, operational efficiency, and value realization.
