About

I am a commercial and retail marketplace leader with 13+ years of experience across Nike, P&G, and Dairy Farm, spanning sports retail, FMCG, wholesale, category management, store operations, and partner-led growth. In my current role as Sales Director for Nike Hong Kong and Macau. My work focuses on transforming the retail marketplace with partners, landlords, and internal teams by opening and upgrading stores, strengthening partner capability, improving inventory and profitability models, and activating sport-led consumer moments. I also work closely with retail partners to improve portfolio economics, manage markdown and inventory pressure, build liquidation ecosystems, and make disciplined decisions on underperforming doors. Before Nike, I built strong FMCG commercial foundations at P&G, where I managed major categories and retail accounts across Hong Kong and Macau, using shopper insights, category strategy, trade investment discipline, and cross-functional leadership to drive growth. Earlier in my career, I developed hands-on retail operations experience at Mannings under Dairy Farm, managing stores, frontline teams, and day-to-day consumer execution. My strength is connecting strategy with retail reality: translating brand ambition into profitable stores, partner execution, consumer experience, and sustainable market growth.
