Currently Head of Data & Technology at the Singapore International Foundation, he built an organisation-wide Product, Data & Technology function, delivering a 5-year strategy, centralised data warehouse, and automation that cut BAU time by 30% and saved 42% in costs. He previously owned payments and monetisation for Singapore Airlines’ Kris+, launching PCI DSS Level 1 credit card payments and automating merchant settlements from weeks to a day while doubling revenue streams.
