Delivery and PMO leader with 10+ years managing cloud, fintech, and SaaS programs across APAC.
What I'm looking for
I’m a delivery leader with 10+ years of regional experience, consistently managing multimillion-dollar projects and commercial operations to enable timely launches of banking, fintech, SaaS, and IT applications. I’m recognized as a decisive, persevering leader who coaches teams to deliver breakthroughs.
I’ve led major cloud programs, including a Cloud Cost FinOps initiative at a Fortune 150 company with visibility into $500M annual cloud spend across GCP, AWS, and Azure. I also managed governance programs supporting accurate royalty and revenue recognition (~$10M/month) and centralized key deliverables to strengthen weekly reporting and execution.
Most recently, I’m Managing Director & Independent Contractor with end-to-end software development and delivery management services. Previously as a Regional Director (reports to CEO), I spearheaded regional project delivery, served as Scrum Master, and built the PMO from scratch to drive 100% on-time and on-budget completions, including an HKMA-compliant cloud-native digital lending stack supporting 150,000+ users.
