Bio

Currently SVP in Growth at Lazada (Alibaba), previously at Amazon, HOOQ/Singtel and co-founder of e-commerce startup. Over a decade of experience in pan-Asian leadership roles. Extensive growth marketing, business development, and product strategy experience. - Started my career after my MBA by launching Amazon in an Asian market which till date I have a hard time convincing people (sometimes even myself) that I was 24 when I did this. - After amazon scaled from 10 to 2K employees was missing the start up energy, packed my bags and moved to Malaysia (a beautiful country I had never visited) and co-founded an e-commerce startup for 7 Southeast Asian markets. - Fascinated by opportunities in Singapore and media industry moved here to lead a business in a video streaming startup competing with Netflix and acquired 10 million subscribers in 4 markets and was eventually sold to Coupang in South Korea (I thought it would be fun to sit and watch movies & TV series all day but it was fun and exciting in a different way). - After my media stint I was missing my past love for e-commerce so I joined Alibaba Group's Lazada as a Sr. VP and I am rapidly scaling their customers, revenues, partners and payments. I am passionate about tech for good in areas like small business inclusivity, protecting consumer privacy and large scale digital skills training. High-profile conference speaker on Technology, Growth and Entrepreneurship. My work makes me travel a lot (sometimes move countries), end up meeting some very, very interesting people and cultures across the world, try new places to hangout, appreciate local cuisine and understand global consumer behaviour.
