I’m a strategic planning manager bridging technical execution and corporate strategy—driving budgets, KPIs, and ERP productivity.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic Planning & Business Operations Specialist with a Mechatronics Engineering background. I enjoy bridging the gap between technical execution and corporate strategy—leading cross-functional efforts, aligning stakeholders, and translating global initiatives into regional outcomes.
At Toshiba Tec Malaysia Sdn Bhd, I supported the preparation of the annual corporate budget and helped ensure financial targets were met through cross-department collaboration. I spearheaded and launched a new cloud-based product aligned to market demands and strategic business objectives, achieving 160% of the annual projected sales target. I also developed and communicated KPIs across departments to drive consistent performance, while serving as a key liaison with the parent company to coordinate inquiries, projects, and communications.
Previously as an Assistant Service Engineer, I integrated enhancements into the corporate ERP system, reducing daily man-hours by 30% and improving productivity. I streamlined field engineer mobile workflows, cutting manual entry tasks by 80%, and handled product certification matters with SIRIM to uphold quality and regulatory compliance. I’m also hands-on with training engineers domestically and internationally, and I’ve managed multi-disciplinary compliance and safety initiatives, including ISO compliance, first aid, and fire safety.
