From Olympics to Startups

Harnessing Project and Programme Management skills in the startup world.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of managing complex programmes, from the 2012 Olympics hardware/software delivery to nationwide bank branch network upgrades. These experiences armed me with expertise in stakeholder management, strategic planning, and executing large-scale initiatives, ultimately shaping my journey as a founder.

Transitioning into the startup world, I channeled these hard-earned skills into building digital platforms in proptech and retail markets, conducting extensive research, defining strategies, identifying suitable technologies, driving marketing campaigns, and establishing efficient operations.

My corporate background in leading cross-functional teams and collaborating with C-suite stakeholders proved vital in overcoming the unique challenges of startup life. Adapting Agile and Waterfall methodologies enabled me to respond swiftly to the fast-paced

I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to merge my corporate experience with the world of startups. The journey has been rewarding and adrenaline-filled, and I eagerly anticipate what the future holds!
