At KPMG, I supported 2,400+ employees across Thailand, Myanmar and Laos as Associate Director — Human Resources / Talent Acquisition. I built the HR foundation for KPMG's Myanmar expansion from 4 to 90 employees and co-led localisation of the MyPD performance platform for Thailand.

At NorKhmer Concept Co., Ltd., I designed an end-to-end HR and operations system for a 45+ person distributor, including 17 HR SOPs and a complete employee handbook. I also designed Odoo HR and Operations configuration and built five internal apps on Lovable.dev with Supabase backends.

Through my HR Architect Framework work, I connect governance, operations, performance, workforce planning and decision support in an integrated HR operating model. My experience spans senior HR leadership, HR systems design and executive search across the UK and Asia.
