I build APAC partner ecosystems and revenue engines across certification, technology, and SaaS.
What I'm looking for
At PeopleCert, I scaled APAC program revenue from zero to over USD 500,000, launched reseller market entry in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines, and expanded academic partnerships with 40+ new partners. I’ve also secured institutional agreements with Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the University of Sydney, and AMA Education System Philippines.
Across CompTIA, Being Cert, and Mahindra Satyam, I’ve grown channel networks, negotiated seven-figure agreements, led APAC marketing and academic partnerships, and managed key BFSI and logistics accounts. I’m now building Astra, an AI-native revenue operating system, alongside an evidence-based cybersecurity capability and credentialing platform.
