What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead product and operations strategy, launch and scale products, optimize processes, and grow communities in a fast-paced, impact-driven company.

I am a self-driven entrepreneur with deep experience across operations, marketing, and leadership, having led online business operations across North America and APAC. I specialize in ideation and launching new products, building processes, and driving growth for consumer-focused digital products.

As a co-founder and operator, I designed and built an algorithmic trading platform and generated a 40% return on capital for 2023–2024. I have a strong track record of conceptualizing and launching multiple MVPs, achieving rapid user adoption and scaling remote teams.

My background includes founding and scaling community-driven platforms, running large influencer marketing campaigns that generated significant revenue, and partnering with global agencies and tech clients. I have built and led customer operations and pilot programs at high-growth companies, implemented cash-payment pilots, and documented SOPs to streamline operations.

I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented ethos to teams, combining hands-on product launch experience, community building, and operational rigor to drive measurable business outcomes. I look for opportunities where I can lead product and operations strategy, optimize processes, and scale impact.
