I build seller-facing marketplace products that improve onboarding, engagement, and checkout experiences.
What I'm looking for
I've spent 5+ years building seller-facing marketplace products at Blibli, Indonesia's leading e-commerce platform.
Most recently, I led seller-assisted checkout, including a customer-facing display for in-store purchases that expanded how sellers and customers could transact.
Across product cycles, I've driven seller onboarding, retention, and engagement improvements through product strategy, discovery, analytics, and cross-functional delivery.
Before Blibli, I managed sales and seller-app adoption at Pidilite, leading a team of nine and becoming the first region to onboard 100% of sellers. I'm currently building hands-on fluency with AI product tools before returning to product leadership on user-facing products at scale.
