About
I’m a results-driven leader with over a decade of experience in building strategic partnerships and driving market expansion. As the Global Director of Strategy & Operations at IntelliPaaS, I lead the international Go-To-Market (GTM) and expansion of a proven enterprise-grade integration platform, helping businesses streamline operations and enhance automation. Additionally, as Managing Director of Global Market Expansions, I work with technology, retail, and healthcare brands to drive scalable growth and market entry across APAC. Previously, I spearheaded SmileDirectClub’s expansion into Australia and New Zealand, establishing 19 locations in six months, and drove 6x growth in DTC channels at KitchenAid through innovative sales strategies. My experience spans multiple industries, and I’m passionate about creating strategic partnerships that deliver sustainable growth.
