With over six years of experience as the founder and CEO of ProfilePrint, I lead an innovative team that leverages artificial intelligence technologies to help agribusinesses digitally ascertain quality of food ingredient so as to buy and sell more efficiently. ProfilePrint's patented digital food identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) technology helps synthesise complex molecular data of ingredient samples such as grains, coffee, juices, cocoa, spices, oils etc into digital fingerprints, rapidly predicting its identity and quality for every buy and sell transaction across the global supply chain.

I also bring extensive venture capital and private equity knowledge to my role, as a partner at ZIDO Capital, investing in special-situation involving family‐owned and entrepreneur‐centric businesses across Asia. Previously, I was the Asst CEO of IHDpay Group, where I managed a portfolio of companies in the banking, insurance, and medical sectors. My core competencies include technology, innovation, strategy, management consulting, mergers and acquisitions.
