Digital Product Leader with Expertise in International Expansion, Localization, and Cross-Border E-Commerce With over 13 years of experience, I specialize in driving international expansion, product localization, and operational excellence for global tech companies. I have been a key contributor to scaling businesses in APAC, serving as one of the earliest employees and the first-ever Product Manager hired for Airbnb, WeWork, and GOAT in the region. Currently, as Regional Director for Greater China at GOAT, I lead the region’s growth strategy, overseeing cross-functional teams and driving initiatives that have significantly contributed to the company’s global success. My work spans scaling supply and demand, building high-performing teams, and fostering strategic partnerships. Concurrently, I take on a hands-on role as a Product Manager, delivering impactful features like cart functionality, restock fees, and localized solutions to enhance user experience and drive revenue. I also served as an Advisor for my family-owned restaurant, managing marketing and live music programming, and as a Featured Speaker for multiple product and tech organizations, with one of my talks being recognized as Top 20 Best Talks of 2020 by Product School. Having studied and worked across the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Mainland China, I bring a global perspective to my work, blending strategic thinking with hands-on execution to deliver results in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
