I’m David Ooi, a Growth & Marketing Strategist with a strong background in SaaS, finance, and business development. Over the past few years, I’ve helped companies scale across multiple countries, build efficient teams, and turn ideas into profitable, sustainable growth. What I’m Good At 1. Business Growth & Strategy – Driving expansion into new markets and optimizing business models for revenue growth. 2. Marketing & Sales – Performance marketing, B2B sales, and client acquisition strategies that consistently deliver ROI. 3. Operations & Leadership – Leading teams of 15+, aligning sales, customer service, and marketing toward measurable results. 4. Content & Communication – Clear, persuasive messaging in both Chinese and English, bridging cultures and unlocking global opportunities. Why I Stand Out Most freelancers focus on execution—I combine strategy + execution. With experience spanning finance, SaaS, and international expansion, I don’t just deliver tasks; I help clients see the bigger picture, anticipate challenges, and unlock growth. My approach is straightforward, fast, and results-driven: done is better than perfect, but never without impact. If you want someone who can connect strategy to results, adapt quickly, and deliver with clarity, I’m the right fit.
