Singapore
I've built leading Internet businesses outside of the US since the late 1990s, mostly in Asia. After an early career at HP and Bain in Silicon Valley, I joined Yahoo! in 1999 and led the launch of Yahoo! sites around the world. I saw the opportunity in Chinese e-commerce relatively early and joined eBay Eachnet – at the time the number one e-commerce company in China – in 2003 as Chief Product Officer. My two year expat assignment has now extended to over 15 years in Asia, where I founded a "web 2.0" startup in Shanghai, ran Microsoft's online business in SE Asia, led Vistaprint's expansion into global emerging markets and helped Aegon create and invest in some of Asia's leading Insuretech companies. Now I'm focused on helping young companies with strong sustainability missions grow. Specialties: General management, product management, business development, business strategy, supply chain management, international operations
