What I'm looking for

I seek a growth or operations leadership role where I can drive scalable customer acquisition, optimize processes, and collaborate cross-functionally to accelerate revenue and impact.

I am a growth, operations, and go-to-market professional with experience building and scaling ventures across fintech, logistics, and financial services. I have a proven track record supporting revenue growth, optimizing business processes, and driving customer acquisition through data-driven execution and cross-functional collaboration.

As a former startup co-founder and hands-on operator, I designed customer acquisition systems, supported CRM and sales operations workflows, and built scalable growth infrastructure that improved onboarding, adoption, and retention. I built reporting frameworks and attribution tracking to support pipeline visibility and business decision-making, and helped secure grant recognition for venture impact.

I enjoy working across marketing, sales, product, and finance teams to improve business performance and operational efficiency, and I am passionate about leveraging technology, structured processes, and market insights to support sustainable growth in emerging and global markets.
