In a nutshell,
I love learning and expanding my horizons. I travel the world, meet new people, and listen to their stories. I speak Mandarin and Bahasa Indonesia, and tinker with Urdu, Hokkien, and Javanese.
From frying plantains in the kitchens of Mozambique to working on fishing boats in the Maldives and counseling Tibetan refugees in North India: I spent more than a year traveling the world, volunteering in NGOs, and exploring various cultures.
I guess I just wanted to see what’s out there.
My other passion lies in venture and growth investing. I'm currently with GGV Capital, backing startup founders across the globe, with a focus on APAC. Prior to HBS, I was the 2nd employee at a regional VC fund, leading deal sourcing and deal execution across Southeast Asia. I graduated from the LSE and started my career in London at Strategy& (formerly Booz & Co), working with large corporates and private equity majors.
I'm an angel investor on the side. I also enjoy diving and learning new things.
