More

I have led revenue organisations through every phase: founding builds from one, cross-border expansion, and full commercial transformation. Most recently as SVP Global Sales, converting a services-led business into a product-led recurring revenue model across critical infrastructure, healthcare, telco and public sector. What I actually do: architect the systems underneath the number. Pipeline governance, deal qualification frameworks, pricing structures, forecasting discipline, partner and channel ecosystems. The kind of infrastructure that makes revenue predictable rather than heroic. Where I have operated: Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, India, Australia, Southeast Asia, and increasingly US and EMEA mandates. Enterprise and public sector. Direct, partner-led, and joint venture motions. Background as an engineer, which is why I am comfortable in technical rooms and why I default to first principles when a commercial model is not working. Currently exploring CRO and senior revenue leadership roles with companies building in AI, data, and infrastructure. Also coaching executives navigating career A quote that drive all this was famously said by Thomas Jefferson, "If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done".
