About me
Star figure

Your Partner for Digital Growth &Transformation.

✦ Launched 30+ Businesses in New Markets

My career started in 2015 in China’s fast-paced Cross-Border eCommerce space, where I launched dozens of businesses across an array of digital platforms, transforming several into multimillion dollar operations.

✦ Passionate about user-centric digital products that solve real problems and drive business value.

I believe that good technology solutions should be intuitive, frictionless and enjoyable for the user, deliver measurable business impact, and should not require a team of engineers to build and maintain.
