I build APAC talent pipelines and close high-impact go-to-market hires.
SingaporeWhat I'm looking for
I've built and scaled go-to-market teams across APAC and EMEA, most recently closing 37 commercial and strategic roles at Deel in six months with a 95% offer acceptance rate.
At Pinterest, I helped build its first Japan sales office, closing 45 GTM roles in 10 months through direct headhunting and end-to-end onboarding. I also launched Hyre Search's Tokyo market entry, advised tech founders on scaling plans, and placed leadership talent for companies including Zenyum Japan, BackMarket, and Foodpanda.
Across Singapore, Japan, and Malaysia, I bring more than nine years of cross-border recruitment experience, localized compensation knowledge, and a commercial B2B sales background to talent strategy, market mapping, negotiation, and closing.
