Founder and CEO of Ox Street, the Integrated Marketplace connecting Asia’s New Digital Generation with their authentic style. We guarantee the authenticity of all products sold through Ox Street, and provide one app to rule them all to the ~100 million Gen Y and Z sneakerheads and fashionistas in Southeast Asia.
Ox Street was acquired by Carousell Group in October 2021 and continues as a separate brand and product within the group.
Before Ox Street I was at Rocket Internet, launching and scaling startups in frontier markets in Asia. During that time I launched a startup from scratch in Bangladesh, scaled another one from 12 to 40 FTE in Myanmar (while monetizing it as well), and ended-up running a business across 4 countries in Asia. I started my career in Private Equity, where I learned a few things about the investor's perspective on business.
I double majored in history and anthropology at Tulane University, going on to earn my master's at UCL studying bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology. Through writing my dissertation, I discovered my passion for analytical writing and the art of communication. I am currently a content creator for Storyblok where I cover our cutting-edge headless CMS solution.

Experienced business executive, I have over 24 years of experience managing multi-disciplinary functions, including Entrepreneurship and Product Management. I am a focused problem-solver, constantly trying to streamline processes and generate efficiency.
Specialising in finding simple solutions to complex problems, I focus on building profitable and robust companies in a fast-evolving world. This is delivered through strategic business and culture development, marketing planning, and implementation.
We help companies Re-imagine their business in the digital age. We take digital technologies to create new — or modify existing business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements.
Having created and managed several international companies in Agtech, advertising and technology, I have built up the knowledge and first-hand experience to deliver the results that shareholders should expect.
Working with startups and mature companies to redevelop their digital and technology platforms and strategies is what gets me up in the morning.
When it feels like work, you are doing something wrong.

VP, Brand and Content at Sinch 🚀 I Brand builder, b2b tech marketing leader
Why do you need a strong brand?
Because it is the only true differentiator that can’t be copied. And yes that’s also true for b2b companies.
Think about it: products and features are all becoming the same. Sure you can be a little cheaper or a little better. But why not use your brand to win instead? Your brand is your future-proof competitive edge.
A strong brand means recognition, credibility, trust, loyalty.
And that’s why I’ve dedicated my career to building strong brands. BRAVE brands. Brands that connect with people. Brands that dare to be different. Brands with strong beliefs. Brand that build new categories and become their kings.
I personally believe in the power of communication and creativity. I believe in doing things with passion and taking risks. I spent 10 years in the best Ad agencies in London and Paris, working on the world's leading consumer brands. In my late 20s, I traveled the world for one year. In my 30s, I opened an art gallery in San Francisco before going back to marketing and branding for B2B tech companies in Silicon Valley. In 2017 I moved to Sweden to open the European office of a b2b tech creative agency.
In 2023 I came back to the US to continue to lead the brand growth of one of the fastest growing tech company in the world, Sinch.
I’m now VP of Brand at Sinch, the Customer Communications Cloud.
Bottom line: when I want to do something, I make it happen.
I apply this ‘can-do-attitude’ to everything I do.
I love networking and sharing knowledge. Feel free to get in touch.
