What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that challenges me and allows for growth, where I can leverage my skills in strategic planning and business development to drive impactful results.

I am a growth-driven leader with over 7 years of experience in scaling B2B ventures across AI, fintech, and edtech in both APAC and global markets. My proven track record in driving revenue growth and expanding market share has consistently surpassed business objectives in competitive industries. I excel at crafting and executing high-impact strategies, building trusted stakeholder relationships, and negotiating complex deals.

Throughout my career, I have developed a keen ability to analyze market trends and leverage insights for strategic decision-making. I foster a culture of operational excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement. My recent role as Global Growth Head at Ooum AI has allowed me to guide leadership teams, develop networks, and negotiate strategic partnerships that enhance market penetration and drive significant growth.
