@ruili3
I drive cross-border technology, ERP, and startup initiatives from strategy through measurable delivery outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I'm working with ESSEC Business School's startup and venture ecosystem, evaluating early-stage ventures and connecting founders, incubators, and VC stakeholders across Europe and China. I develop venture value propositions and strategic recommendations around market potential, scalability, technology, and international growth.
Previously, I supported SAP Cloud ERP and Clean Core initiatives, built delivery maturity dashboards, and led 40+ technology implementations at Thoughtworks across ERP, CRM, data platforms, and digital products. My experience also includes quantitative compensation and workforce analysis at Bosch China, using Python and VLOOKUP to turn complex data into evidence-based recommendations.
