I help organizations accelerate revenue growth by building high-value partnerships, sponsorship programs, strategic accounts, and commercial ecosystems across global markets. Over the past 16+ years, I have led commercial growth initiatives across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, India, Australia, and the United States, working with some of the world's leading executives, investors, policymakers, researchers, and industry innovators. My experience spans sales, strategic partnerships, business development, account management, event commercialization, and international market expansion. I am particularly passionate about helping organizations unlock new revenue streams, expand into new markets, and create commercially successful communities through events, content, research, and strategic relationships. Outside of work, I enjoy fitness, travel, nature, and wildlife — interests that continue to inspire curiosity, balance, and perspective in both business and life.
Upsight is an ecosystem builder and intelligence company operating at the intersection of ecosystems, data, and market opportunities across Southeast Asia — spanning sustainability, mobility, energy transition, and emerging technology sectors. We work with corporates, governments, investors, and startups to enter new markets, build strategic partnerships, and unlock commercial and investment opportunities — connecting stakeholders across the ecosystem through events, programmes, and advisory. We have delivered programmes and initiatives for partners including JETRO's Global Acceleration Hub, IMDA's Spark & Accreditation Enterprise Engagement, CHISEL Healthcare Innomatch, the UK AI Delegation to Singapore at SWITCH, among others. Our model is built on a core conviction: the most valuable asset in any ecosystem isn't the event or programme itself — it's the structured data, relationships, and signals they generate. Upsight is designed to capture and compound this, translating ecosystem activity into AI-powered platforms and ventures over time. ChargedUp, our EV and mobility platform, is where we're proving this model first.
