My career spans hospitality roots in Switzerland to boardroom leadership in Singapore, with formative years in Malaysia learning the industrial sector.

I thrive in complex environments, turning underperforming operations into sustainable growth engines, aligning stakeholders across cultures, and shaping strategies that balance discipline with commercial impact. Curious by nature, I welcome new ideas and perspectives, and Iโ€™m passionate about building businesses that are both resilient and futureโ€‘ready.
