What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote and international roles, where I can coordinate multi-site projects and work with distributed teams across locations and time zones.

At VOGUE CONCEPTS INC, I coordinate store projects across 10 international retail brands, managing schedules, budgets, contractors, suppliers, and stakeholders. I currently manage a pipeline of 24 active projects and build the tracking systems, dashboards, and executive reports that give leadership visibility into status, risk, budgets, and opening schedules.

At PICKUP COFFEE, I supported the expansion from 20 to 200 operational stores within one year and designed project management systems and reporting frameworks that did not previously exist. Earlier, I worked in relationship and category management at SHOPEE PHILIPPINES and managed tenant fit-outs and store openings at SM SUPERMALLS, including an international assignment supporting operations at SM Chengdu, China.
