About

I am a People & Culture executive with a career built at the intersection of human behavior, organizational strategy, and tech innovation. My approach is grounded in a deep academic foundation from MIT Sloan and New York University, combined with nearly 15 years of experience leading complex human capital transformations for global industry leaders like Google, Deloitte, and Procter & Gamble. Throughout my tenure as a regional People/HR leader, I have specialized in architecting high-performance organizations from the ground up. This includes leading greenfield market entries across Southeast Asia, managing large-scale global incentive redesigns, and navigating complex labor relations and board-level governance. Core Areas of Expertise: * Strategic HR Leadership: Leading cross-functional teams and scaling regional entities in high-growth fintech and tech-enabled sectors. * Organizational Transformation: Managing end-to-end change management and operating model redesigns for global workforces. * Total Rewards & Governance: Designing equitable, market-aligned compensation structures and leading formal regulatory audits for thousands of employees. * Leadership Coaching: Leveraging my ICF-ACC accredited certification to empower senior leaders and high-potential teams to reach peak operational performance. I am driven by the challenge of translating business goals into sustainable people strategies that foster both individual growth and organizational excellence.
