I'm a blockchain and AI builder, operator, and early-stage investor. My focus areas are blockchain infrastructure, real-world assets, digital collectibles, and capital markets.
My path here runs through both sides of the table. I started in enterprise sales at , then led APAC sales at Articulo (Botbot.ai, a 2359 Media product), an AI automation company serving regional MNCs that was later acquired by NCS Group, a Singtel subsidiary. From there I moved into corporate innovation at , running open innovation programs with Unilever, Grab, and Dell across Asia-Pacific.
Then I built. I co-founded and served as COO of , a Techstars-backed startup creating AI-powered digital companions at the intersection of AI and blockchain, working with major IP partners including Sanrio and Neopets, backed by BlueYard Capital, Acequia Capital, and Protocol Labs. I later co-founded , a Web3 incubation and advisory firm, where I served as Chief Business Officer advising projects from seed-stage protocols to a major Japanese entertainment conglomerate. Along the way I also spent a year inside physical supply chains as a consultant at SCF Global, a 4PL firm serving clients like 3M and Dell. That year is a big part of why I take real-world assets seriously as an investment thesis.
I hold an MSc in Technopreneurship and Innovation from Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
