What works in one market often breaks at regional scale.
I help FMCG brands build durable growth pillars across SEA.

From fragile growth to durable pillar
Most teams chase channels. The ones that win build systems.

E-commerce is growing, but it's fragile.
- ·Heavy reliance on promos
- ·Performance depends on a few people
- ·Channels don't scale cleanly across markets
Commercial clarity and execution discipline.
- ·Channel P&L ownership
- ·Funnel design across media, social commerce, affiliates
- ·Capability building with local teams and partners
Durable digital growth without chaos.
- ·E-commerce as a true FMCG growth pillar
- ·Teams that can run without constant escalation
- ·Performance tied to commercial outcomes

I started in distribution. Learned the cost structures and tradeoffs that sit underneath everything else.
Then I spent years in the trenches: growing a portfolio in a category that was actively shrinking. Building channels that didn't exist before. Fixing fundamentals that everyone else ignored.
Now I build commerce engines across six countries.
What I've learned is simple: growth fails when teams chase channels instead of building systems.
Building FMCG commerce across Southeast Asia

Zero to growth pillar in 6 months
The brand was entering digital commerce across Southeast Asia. No existing channels. Different platform ecosystems per market. The brief was speed without sacrificing execution quality.
Built and launched digital commerce in Malaysia, Philippines, and Vietnam. Stood up social commerce, affiliate, and content selling capabilities. Aligned local teams and partners.
All three markets now operate as growth pillars. The capabilities transferred to local teams.
From underperformance to category leader
When I took over, the eContent score was under 10%. Online contribution was flat. Distribution was limited to a handful of channels.
Built 10+ new distribution channels that didn't exist before. Fixed the fundamentals in 3 months. Created a playbook that other regional markets adapted.
+60% category over-indexing in Vitamins & Supplements. Online contribution grew by 8 percentage points.


Growth in a shrinking market
Baby formula was declining -2.7% year-on-year. The category had headwinds. Parallel imports were diluting brand presence on key platforms.
Drove new user acquisition at scale. Eliminated parallel imports on key accounts. Negotiated prime campaign visibility during mega sales.
+45% category over-indexing for core brand. Proved digital could offset offline decline.
