What I'm looking for

I am seeking new challenges in Strategy and Operations, focusing on impactful projects.

I am a driven individual and problem-solver with over 9 years of experience in the energy and advanced manufacturing sectors across Asia, the US, and Europe. My engineering background has equipped me with the skills to manage new products and projects, focusing on lifecycle processes, customer revenue, and team collaboration. I have a proven track record of delivering results, such as reducing yield waste to 0% at a customer site, which resulted in significant cost savings.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Lead Engineer at Lam Research and Product Development Manager at Nuevosol Energy. My leadership in product lifecycle management and innovative testing plans has consistently led to successful project outcomes.

I am passionate about driving efficiency and creativity in product development, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can mentor and guide teams to achieve their best. With a recent MBA, I want to target leadership roles in Strategy, Operations and general management.
