About

I’m an adaptable regional operations leader with 25+ years of experience building and running IT operations across challenging, fast-moving environments. I enjoy ideation and creative problem-solving, and I’m intentional about bringing out the best in each team member while balancing the needs of different stakeholders.

I’ve led diverse teams across APAC (including managing service operations for large-scale user bases) and have experience partnering with executive stakeholders to drive discipline, service delivery, and continuous improvement. I’m also a certified recruiter and certified strengths coach, plus I train workplace resilience and leadership skills—so I naturally connect operational excellence with people development and talent management.
