About

I like travelling and football and enjoy learning new things. Recently, sustainability draws more attention and pushes me to think how I can contribute to save our Earth. Growing up in HK enables me to have a worldwide mindset and make me willing to take challenges. It facilitates me to look for solution to overcome different difficult situations in the workplace and private lives. Because of my role, I have to travel to Europe and Asia. This exposure improves my marketing, business development and presentation skills and knowledge. Able to speak a few languages supports me to work smoothly across the Asia including China and Japan. The intercultural communication helps me to handle the sales activities properly in different regions. The working experiences in environmental-friendly industries such as LED and Solar-energy draws my attention towards sustainability. After stepped into retail industry for several years, I saw the value to use technology to keep the retail stores safe and helping the retailers to review their supply chain and stock level to reduce waste. i.e. sustainability. 日本語はここです↓ 日本語の勉強は大学からです。社会人になっても続けましたが、日本の文化と日本語のニュアンスをもっとわかるように、一回仕事を辞めて、名古屋で留学にしました。完璧になれませんが、何となくコミュニケーションができました。昔は、営業マンとして日系企業で働いたことがあります。日本→海外現在、オランダ企業でアジア圏の営業とビジネス開発を担当しています。海外→日本日本だけではなく、韓国、中国、台湾、香港、シンガポール、マレーシア、など（昔）LED→太陽電池→（今）小売り、流通に進出はここ数年だけですが、色々変化があるし、面白いと思います。 Covid19だからこそ、変化がもっと速くなって、新しテクノロジーが出ました。お店向けの在庫管理、防犯システムというソニューションを担当して、様々な提案させて頂きます。 Rain RFID Sustainability Teamのメンバーですから、サステナビリティに関する話題を話しましょう。仕事以外も声をかけてください。 #retail #stockmanagement #sustainability #saveourEarth #caretheworld #football #travel #multilanguage #multicultural #makenewfriends #meettheworld #omnichannel #名古屋　＃異文化　＃小売業界　＃流通　＃RFID　＃在庫管理　＃防犯　＃万引き　＃在庫可視化　＃在庫透明化　＃エコー　＃環境優しい＃オムニチャネル＃SDG
