Recognition

Awards, stages, and the occasional microphone.

Award

Sonova Excellence & Innovation Award

Process Improvement of the Year — 2026. Awarded with my regional peers for the global 36-market Shopify Plus migration and the process transformation behind it, presented at the Future of Audio Conference in May 2026.

What made this one meaningful: it recognised a cross-regional team — three regional e-commerce leads across the Americas, Europe, and APAC & MEA — who built something global together, wave by wave, without losing a single trading day.

Speaking

On stage

I've been speaking about digital commerce in Asia since the industry's early days — from search marketing conferences in 2011 to invite-only e-commerce leadership panels. Topics I speak on: DTC growth in APAC, platform transformation, conversion and customer experience, and AI in commerce operations. Two decades of band stages mean the microphone has never scared me.
