I am a leader who serves by leading and leads by serving. I encourage my team and stakeholders to join me on our mission to make a difference. I am willing to take on challenges and protect our interests, and when we succeed, I celebrate our collective achievements. I thrive in situations that require resourcefulness and value values over profits. I embrace ambiguity and risk, and am curious and perceptive when faced with the unfamiliar.
Launched the Digital Credentials Program: Spearheaded the successful implementation of the Digital Credentials Program, catering to Internal, Partner, and Customer use through Accredible. This innovative initiative revolutionized the way UiPath recognized achievements, certifications, and competencies, providing a digital, verifiable, and shareable platform for individuals to showcase their skills and expertise. Streamlined Vendor Relationships, Saving $1M Annually: Demonstrated strategic acumen by transitioning from expensive vendors to a cost-efficient managed services partnership with Prodapt. This bold move not only saved UiPath a remarkable $1M annually at its inception but also paved the way for its expansion across various departments, unlocking significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. Accelerated Industry Certification Launch: Led the formulation of a comprehensive Methodology and Framework that facilitated the rapid launch of a new industry certification program through Pearson VUE. Through meticulous planning, collaboration, and execution with the team, the certification program was transformed from a typical 12-month development cycle to an impressive launch in a remarkable 12 weeks, establishing UiPath as an agile leader in the certification domain. Pioneered Talent Connection Concept: Pivoted the Talent Connection concept, devising an innovative strategy to connect students from esteemed universities and colleges with compelling work opportunities at UiPath Partners and Customers. By cultivating this groundbreaking initiative, I proactively fostered a dynamic talent pipeline, nurturing the next generation of UiPath professionals and contributing to the growth and success of UiPath's ecosystem.
I founded the Global Black Belt Academy, which focuses on developing mass scale capabilities in our channel partners, including partners, ecosystem partnerships, ISVs, consultants, IoT partners, digital solution integrators, cloud providers, and the Cisco distribution channel. My team was responsible for strategy and planning, program office (PMO), operations, marketing and communications, business development engineers, translation as a service (TaaS), engineering and sales enablement, validation and developing Partner support teams. The goal of the Cisco Black Belt Academy is to strengthen our ability to build strategic customer relationships, maximize competitive advantage, and win more business for Cisco and our channel partners through new route-to-market business development and customer business transformation.
As the Asia Pacific, Japan, and China leader, I ensured that our partners' pre-sales, deployment, and support engineers and account managers were capable of selling, deploying, and supporting the latest technology to our joint customers. My team and I created the global Cisco Black Belt Education framework, which has been launched in the Americas, EMEAR, and APJC and has over 9,000 Partners and 95,000 participants today. The framework was designed to simplify and align education from all seven architectures and technologies in Cisco to enable mass scale.
As the IoT ANZ leader, my responsibilities included building new partnerships between Cisco's traditional partners and our new IoT ecosystem of vendors and suppliers. The goal was to unlock new markets, buying centers, and customers beyond Cisco's traditional IT base. I achieved 200% of my target every year and developed the first Cisco Live Melbourne combined Rockwell Automation Customer event.
Owner, founder and financial backer of my own Idea. SoWhat’slocal was a local event discovery platform, my primary function was to provide real-time information about events happening around you based on your personal preferences and GPS location. Whether you are at home or traveling, you can use my platform to search for events happening near your current location or in a specific city or region. You could filter the results based on your interests and preferences to find events that align with your tastes and hobbies. My platform used your GPS and Postcode location information to provide personalized recommendations for events happening in your immediate area, and also provided information about the distance to the event and how to get there. In addition, it offered features such as ticket purchasing, event reminders, and the ability to create custom event lists or share events with friends.
