I am an avid Bruce Lee fan and I study Jeet Kune Do (JKD). I apply its philosophy in everyday life. One of the key principles of JKD is simplicity.

In the busy world, people gravitate towards doing more and owning more. I do the opposite.

At work, my favorite question is “what can we stop doing that are not adding value to the organization?”

I am a storyteller through data. I distill complicated and unstructured problems into simple forms and help organizations make better decisions. Currently, I am the Finance Director at Amazon, serving the finance team that oversees the data center operations in Asia (APJC). My mission at work is to be an owner multiplier - by creating space for big thinking and innovation, by giving people stretch challenges that grow them, by creating the conditions for robust debate, by investing in people, and by instilling ownership and accountability.

I am also an angel investor, supporting founders who have the vision to make positive and impactful contributions to their communities.

I currently work as a Technical Content Developer at Tribe. What I do is generally write coding tutorials and set assignments for a Learn and Earn platform. It was only in this new role where I met people who told me that they had mentors and it made me really intrigued about mentoring. I was previously a school teacher where I had the fortune of educating 13 to 16 year olds in Geography and Social Studies. It was also there where I had the opportunity to help youths chart out their possibilities in life. I studied Geography in university, and this is something I’m rather passionate about too. It is also because of my studies that I enjoy travelling quite a far bit. I enjoy immersing myself in other cultures and observing how the locals live. I’m an avid reader and I like to learn more about the world and how things work. I love to ask the ‘How’ and ‘Why’s to understand things better. I enjoy conversations with people which are intellectually stimulating too.
