Kuala Lumpur City, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Turning ideas into ventures. Gave up the boardroom for zebra kimonos and working with entrepreneurs and startups across Southeast Asia. Best decision I ever made. My dry cleaner misses me. Before that I worked on every side of the deal. Billion dollar takeovers, carveouts, restructuring. Ran a bank. Managed hundreds of people in Australia. Big Four M&A. 67 transactions. $15B+ in deal value. 57 countries. A lot of airport lounges. All of it brought me here. Now I build and back startups across Southeast Asia and run WhizzbangIdea, an accelerator that helps corporate professionals start businesses, supports corporate innovation teams, and works with companies on entrepreneurial outplacement. Basically I help people stop talking about starting something and actually do it. Exercise is my medicine. Keeps me performing, manages the stress, builds the resilience. Also means I can eat rice at midnight and not feel bad about it. Training for Pro Hyrox December 2026. Entrepreneurship is the future. The corporates who think like founders outperform the ones who do not. I have seen it on both sides. Builder of businesses. Student of human potential. Occasional troublemaker.
World's #1 Startup accelerator for professionals⚡
Healthy, high performance for entrepreneurs🚀
