More

I spent the first part of my career in the ANZ/APAC region in Sales and Business Development customer facing roles for large MNCs, before moving to Hitachi Vantara to deepen my expertise in Sales/GTM, Strategy and Transformation, at a Global level. As part of the Exec Leadership team, I led complex transformation and change initiatives and successfully built and managed high performing teams to scale Hitachi's emerging WW Cloud SaaS business ($50M P&L). My efforts enhanced market presence by driving joint GTM with Hyperscalers/Cloud providers while selling directly to Enterprise B-2-B customers in FSI, Telco and Health. Over the last few months, I have enjoyed expanding on my business and technology curiosities and have embraced the world of Entrepreneurship! I have started my own GenAI venture for RAG/LLM applications (more on that ) as established as an advisory business that specialises in AI market development, GTM Strategy, transformation (inc. M&A) and business operational scale effectiveness.
