About

Professional summary

I am a Certified Anaplan Solution Architect and Enterprise Performance Management consultant with more than 15 years of experience delivering digital transformation, planning, forecasting, and business intelligence solutions across the Asia-Pacific region.

I specialize in building scalable supply chain and finance planning models, with particular strength in demand and supply planning, S&OP, FP&A, forecasting, and performance management. My work helps organizations improve forecast accuracy, inventory management, operational efficiency, and strategic decision-making.

I have led end-to-end EPM implementations across consumer business, financial services, energy, and public-sector environments. I am experienced in solution architecture, model development, stakeholder engagement, vendor management, pre-sales support, and full project lifecycle delivery.

My recent work has focused on Anaplan-based supply chain transformations for organizations in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the Philippines. I have designed solutions for global demand forecasting, supply planning, lease simulation, capital planning, and executive reporting.

I bring a hybrid-agile project delivery approach and hold PMP, Anaplan Solution Architect, Deloitte Supply Chain Management, and IBM Cognos Data Modelling certifications. I combine technical EPM expertise with business-domain knowledge to translate complex planning requirements into practical, high-value solutions.
