About

AI is rewriting and transforming the P&L of every company. I'm building TheGenAICFO.com to document insights from my journey integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI solutions into enterprise strategies—accelerating growth, driving automation, and enhancing customer experiences. As the CFO at Ada, we're pioneering Generative AI to transform the future of customer service. I've led teams raising over $250M in capital across equity and debt financing, and secured major multi-million-dollar GenAI enterprise deals. The role of the CFO is evolving rapidly. Traditional reporting and being a strategic partner are yesterday’s news; operational capability is now table stakes. The CFO of the future is the chief architect—redesigning businesses through AI, supercharging growth, optimizing margins, and fostering a cultural transformation toward embracing AI. Beyond my executive responsibilities, I actively foster a vibrant community of Operators and next-generation Canadian leaders who share, support, and compound knowledge. I firmly believe in the power of collective learning and mutual support to fuel growth and innovation. With roots in Southeast Asia and now based in Canada, I've lived, worked, and conducted business across Asia, Australia, and North America. I’m passionate about bridging world-class technology and cross-cultural innovation globally.
