Summary

Commercial & Customer Success Leader | Scaling Revenue, Operations & Teams | SaaS · E-Commerce · Affiliate · Retail Media | Delivering Growth Across APAC & Beyond. As a commercially driven and people-first executive, I combine strategic revenue leadership with operational depth to scale businesses that perform and endure. From e-commerce and affiliate to fintech and retail media, I’ve led the growth of multi-channel revenue streams while building the operational muscle to support them. I thrive on complexity — launching new products, leading CRM transformations, engaging boards and private equity, and empowering cross-functional teams across sales, marketing, product, and service. My leadership style? Empower, align, and execute — building high-performance cultures that drive both top-line growth and bottom-line efficiency.
