I have extensive hands-on experience in international trade compliance, anti-dumping and trade measure proceedings in Europe, USA, and Thailand, and in structuring cross-border operations. I maintain strong working relationships with overseas professionals, legal counsel, and regulatory bodies across multiple jurisdictions.
My career spans senior finance and accounts leadership roles in the telecom equipment, cold chain and food processing, and hydraulic machinery sectors, followed by deep specialisation in the advanced materials and chemical industry.

Leadership philosophy.
Sound financial governance is the foundation of every sustainable business.
Regulatory compliance is not a constraint — it is a competitive advantage, especially in cross-border trade.
The best strategy is one that is both ambitious and executable — and backed by rigorous analysis.
Strong overseas professional networks are as important as domestic expertise in today's global business environment.
