Hong Kong SAR

Over the past four years, I have successfully led the enterprise-wide implementation of SAP SuccessFactors (and related 3rd party solutions including Paradox.ai, Spinifex, and WalkMe) across a workforce of over 18,000 employees. This large-scale transformation involved reimagining core HR processes — from talent acquisition and onboarding to performance management and learning. Through strong stakeholder engagement, agile delivery methods, and a focus on user experience, we achieved high adoption rates, improved data integrity, and established a scalable digital HR foundation. In parallel, I championed the adoption of AI-driven tools across various HR functions, and also introduced the ServiceNow workflow orchestration platform, bringing automation and intelligence into other areas of the organisation, not only to enhance operational efficiency, but also to significantly improve employee experience.

Founder

Catalyst Business Consulting Ltd

2012 - 2015 · 3 yrs

Hong Kong

I established Catalyst in 2012 to provide practical and pragmatic advice to clients on regional operating model improvements across corporate functions (Finance, HR and IT), and individual business unit operations. Catalyst filled an important gap in the consulting market - that between "one-man bands" and the mega consulting companies.
