18+ years taking enterprise SaaS, PaaS, AdTech and digital platforms into markets that didn't fully exist yet — and building them to commercial scale.

More

From zero to multi-million ARR across INSEA, APAC and the US — commercialising platforms across AI-powered data intelligence and analytics, global app distribution, white label technology and enterprise I've operated as a de facto business owner for new platform initiatives — defining GTM strategy from scratch, closing anchor customers, structuring pricing and partnerships, and validating revenue models before handing them to a scaled team. The categories I've worked in — AI driven mobile data analytics , app distribution, digital ecosystems — were early-stage when I entered them. What I bring: → Zero-to-one GTM: taking products from concept to first revenue to repeatable scale → Enterprise pipeline architecture: building and closing multi-million dollar pipelines across INSEA, APAC, and US markets → Strategic partnerships: technology, content, distribution, and channel ecosystems that accelerate adoption → Market creation: defining categories, building the narrative, and winning the first customers that make everything else possible If you're scaling a SaaS or digital platform into new markets — or building a GTM, partnerships, or enterprise sales function — let's connect.
