About

Strategic APAC enterprise seller operating at the intersection of AI, GTM, and business transformation. I have spent 10+ years in sales across APAC, and the part I genuinely love most is getting in front of senior stakeholders, building real trust, and navigating complex buying committees. That approach has delivered some meaningful results: closing one of the largest enterprise deal in LinkedIn Sales Solutions, acquiring 20+ new logos at LinkedIn and contributing to 145% revenue growth as a BD leader at Aspire. At the core of how I work is a commitment to doing right by clients, not just closing deals, but building partnerships that last. I am looking for environments where AI is not a side conversation but a core part of the mission
