About

7+ years in the SaaS, AI, and Fintech ecosystem as a Strategic Customer Success Manager, focused on solving high-stakes challenges for both digital natives and traditional enterprises across APAC and the Greater China Region. I thrive in the "messy middle": turning ambiguous requirements into plans that teams can ship and customers can actually use. From scaling financial infrastructure at Stripe to driving ML-led growth at Appier, I’ve owned strategic portfolios end-to-end and built a scalable CS rhythms (health frameworks, success playbooks, and cross-functional alignment) that drive retention and expansion. I excel in fast-paced, innovative environments, believing that technology is only as powerful as the value it creates for the people using it. Passionate about community and innovation, outside of work, I also serve as Co-MD of Girls in Tech Taiwan, where I organize initiatives to empower women to "build cool things that matter." Specialties: Enterprise Customer Success • AI/SaaS/Cloud Strategy• Value Realization • Exec Stakeholders Management• Cross-Border Expansion (APAC/GCR) • Churn Mitigation.
