Work philosophy: "Success is not about how much money you make. It is about the difference you make in people’s life." "There is no growth in your comfort zone and no comfort in your growth zone. Life begins at the end of our comfort zone." I have been enjoying various fields in international organizations and familiar with organizing teams to evaluate the progress, develop, and implement SOPs, key performance indicators (KPIs), managing issue resolution, and taking quick action as well as develop detailed operational plans and strategies. I also experienced in designing business plans and stakeholder mapping, analyzing local businesses to provide market and competitive insights, provide advice to clients about conducting business to achieve multiple priorities with tight deadlines. Exceptionally, I had experience in supervising, conducting client meetings and training sections, engaging in corporate processes design and contract managements, managing online system, presenting presentations, monitoring digital engagement platforms, and delivering soft skill training to team members.
