Uber

“Push a button, Get a ride”

Uber has forever changed the way people move, and leading Strategic Partnerships in Malaysia was truly a ride of a lifetime. I had the privilege of spearheading local deals with major telcos, banks, government agencies and others, while also supporting the rollout of global and regional collaborations like Uber x Canon.

Across all of my work at Uber, I managed the end-to-end process of Partnership building-from inception to launch.

Breather

For years, offices were sterile and uninspiring, while alternatives like hotel meeting rooms felt impersonal, and cafes were often too chaotic. Breather changed the game with beautifully designed spaces that encouraged productivity and creativity, located in vibrant neighborhoods across major cities.

When Breather set out to expand into 10 cities across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., I joined to lead their Launch and Expansion. My mandate: design unforgettable launch experiences, build the business in new markets, and create a playbook to scale across all cities.

RazerPay

The iconic gaming brand with a cult following, launched RazerPay - a mobile wallet designed to bridge virtual worlds and real-life lifestyle brands.

Imagine grabbing coffee at Starbucks, shopping, paying bills, purchasing gaming credits, or even transferring money to friends - all in a few taps.

As Country Manager & Head of BD for Malaysia, I was responsible for the launch, and securing major deals with brands like 7-Eleven, Starbucks, and more - all within an 8-week period.
