Retail & E-commerce Manager | Cross-border SEA | Shopee · Lazada · TikTok Shop | 15+ Years

About

I build brands, scale operations, and grow revenue — across retail stores and e-commerce platforms throughout Southeast Asia. With 15+ years in fashion and lifestyle retail, I've gone from managing a single store to leading multi-market expansion independently. Most recently, I launched KRIPS sportswear end-to-end — from concept and product development to running 5 Shopee storefronts across Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines — with zero paid media budget. What I bring to the table: ▸ Cross-border e-commerce operations (Shopee Mall, Lazada, TikTok Shop, website) ▸ Retail network expansion — store setup, SOP, KPI systems ▸ Brand building from zero to multi-channel market presence ▸ Team leadership — built and developed teams of up to 80 people ▸ Omnichannel commercial performance — 2B+ VND/month at ONWAYS, 7-10% YoY growth I thrive in lean, high-accountability environments where execution matters. Whether it's launching a new brand, opening new markets, or turning around an underperforming retail network — I've done it, and I can do it again. 📍 Based in Ho Chi Minh City | Open to opportunities in retail, e-commerce, and business expansion roles. Let's connect if you're building something in SEA.
