Director and transport marketplace leader driving multi-million dollar savings and growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a director-level operator with deep experience leading transport and marketplace businesses across Southeast Asia, driving cross-functional initiatives that delivered substantial revenue and cost improvements. I have led projects that produced over $100M in annual savings and managed P&L for multi-country operations.
My background blends strategy, product-facing operations, and financial rigor — from implementing ML-powered order fulfillment and pricing changes to automating inventory planning and bad-debt identification. I partner with C-level stakeholders and coordinate 30+ stakeholder initiatives, delivering measurable outcomes such as $20M revenue uplift and $5M–$60M in cost savings.
I thrive in high-growth, cross-functional environments where data, stakeholder alignment, and disciplined execution meet. I have hands-on experience with SQL and Tableau, investor relations, budgeting, and scaling marketplace operations to improve unit economics and operational productivity.
