PERSONAL SUMMARY:
I am passionate about technology, innovation, new and disruptive business models and the application of these elements in ultimately achieving business success. I’m grateful for the wonderful opportunities I’ve had to apply these passions during my time at Google, Accenture and VCs advising and collaborating with early stage tech start-ups.

I believe that the people and human relationships we build and foster are key to finding success in business. I strive to inspire my teams, colleagues and partners to maximize their potential and to reach unimagined new heights – as individuals and as teams, while maintaining a strong sense of purpose and collaboration.

Today, I remain super excited about the promise of AI, and the tremendous opportunities for innovation and growth that exist in Asia Pacific for companies of all sizes and shapes.
