About

Professional summary

I am a commercially driven Regional Demand Planning Specialist with more than six years of experience across supply chain, business development, marketing, and project management in APAC and the UK.

I specialise in demand forecasting, stock allocation, inventory health, supply planning, and cross-functional coordination. I use data analysis, advanced Excel modelling, and ERP systems to improve planning accuracy, reduce ageing inventory, and support commercial performance.

I have managed complex B2B supply chain operations involving thousands of SKUs, international vendors, 3PL providers, freight forwarders, and cross-border e-commerce teams. My work has delivered measurable improvements in warehouse productivity, freight costs, and administrative efficiency.

Alongside supply chain expertise, I bring experience in market analysis, IoT B2B feasibility assessment, marketing strategy, branding, event management, and stakeholder engagement. I am comfortable collaborating with GTM, HQ, sales, marketing, UX, web development, and operations teams.

I am fluent in English, Malay, Mandarin, and Cantonese, enabling me to work effectively with diverse regional and international stakeholders. I am motivated by opportunities to optimise processes, unlock growth, and deliver practical solutions aligned with business objectives.
