I’m thrilled to share that as of December 2025, I’ve been promoted to Senior Partner Development Representative at AWS! From starting as an Intern in the APAC SI team in 2022 (thank you Reshmi Subramanian for putting your trust in me 3 years ago!) to taking on roles as Strategic Analyst (ASEAN SI), Partner Operations Lead, and ASEAN Partner Development Representative, it’s been an incredible journey of growth, learning, and collaboration. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of building meaningful relationships with our partners, supporting go-to-market initiatives, and contributing to APJ-wide programs that empower our partner ecosystem. I’m deeply grateful for the mentors, superb teammates Kylie Lee William Craven Achiraya Supateeravet Crystal Lim Jinwoo Jung Belle Sim Seowoo Kim, and partners who’ve trusted me to guide you through your AWS Partnership journey - you know who you are 💪🏼. A huge thank you to my manager, Mokshika Gaur, for being my greatest advocate, inspiring me to Think Big(ger) and for the guidance and vision that continues to shape our team’s success. 🌟 I also want to give a special shout-out to the AWS Distributors I’ve had the pleasure of working with - VST ECS Phils., Inc, Ingram Micro, and Westcon-Comstor. Your partnership, trust, and collaboration have made a world of difference, and will continue to do so in 2026. As I step into this new chapter, I’m excited to keep helping our partners grow and succeed as part of the AWS Partner Network. Here’s to more growth, collaboration, and impact ahead! 🚀
