My focus areas include: • AI agents for conversational support and internal productivity • Customer workflow automation • GTM and sales execution for early-stage teams • CX transformation and operational efficiency • Driving technical + commercial discovery with cross-functional teams I’ve worked across APAC and EMEA, leading high-velocity cycles as well as deep technical evaluations involving engineering, product, and finance stakeholders. I’m passionate about simplifying complex AI use cases, designing scalable workflows, and helping teams unlock measurable impact across their support and product operations.
