About the speaker

Third-generation Singaporean with 15+ years building technology businesses and leading commercial teams across Asia Pacific. I currently lead AWS's commercial growth business across Singapore, Vietnam, and Emerging ASEAN — managing a team and driving cloud adoption across hundreds of commercial accounts spanning both established and frontier markets. My mandate covers net-new market development, government engagement, and building the commercial foundation for AWS's next wave of growth across Southeast Asia.

Beyond the day-to-day, I serve as an Advisory Council Member on the Singapore Business Federation's Smart Technologies Action Committee (STAC), working alongside government agencies and industry leaders to shape Singapore's national digital agenda. My career has been built at the intersection of entrepreneurship and enterprise — co-founding two technology startups and consistently choosing to build from scratch rather than manage the status quo. Open to conversations at the intersection of cloud, market building, AI and digital transformation across Southeast Asia.
