I joined Neo4j as the first sales person on the ground in Singapore. Together with my capable team, we built the ASEAN business and landed customers from leading financial institutions, telcos, government, logistic companies, among others. In 2022, I was promoted to the General Manager of Greater China, while also retaining my ASEAN sales role. Together with my China team, we won many marquee accounts in the automotive, manufacturing, financial services and telco industries in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It has been a great and enriching ride in Neo4j working with the best and committed team.
Led the Lumada Analytics & Data Management Sales team in Asia Pacific covering ASEAN, Australia, China, Hong Kong and India. Key highlights: 1. Inherited a team from previous management. First order of the day is to bring in fresh vision, vigour and sales execution discipline. 2. Delivered on Q2 revenue and laid a solid foundation for H2 3. New CEO joined and decided to restructure the company that led to the closure of the software sales team In a short span of 5 months, I turned around the team, delivered on revenue commitments and eventually have to let all of them go. This is a valuable experience for me, which cannot be found in any management textbook.
