Thalia Metta Halim

I’m a global business professional with experience in international market expansion, currently working as an APAC Market Assistant Manager at Vodana, a Korean hair product company. Previously, I led business development at an eco-friendly pet care startup, where I focused on expanding into the U.S. market. My work involved market and competitor research, go-to-market strategy, and early-stage business development. I initiated partnership discussions with local retailers and distributors, developed pitch decks, and represented the company in meetings with partners and investors. In my current role at Vodana, I primarily focus on Amazon sales and U.S. market operations, including competitor analysis, performance monitoring, and identifying new market opportunities. I work closely with internal teams to translate market insights into actionable strategies that support global growth. Having worked in fast-paced startup environments, I’m comfortable wearing multiple hats and adapting quickly to new challenges. I enjoy learning new things, working across cultures, and building strong foundations that help brands grow internationally in a sustainable and meaningful way.
