  • Professional Summary

    I am a serial entrepreneur and operator with over two decades of experience building and scaling businesses across Southeast Asia.
    My background spans tourism, hospitality, food & beverage, technology, e-commerce, and property-related services. Throughout my career, I have grown multiple ventures from startup stage into established market leaders by focusing on customer experience, operational excellence, digital transformation, and sustainable profitability. I am not a passive investor. I actively seek opportunities where I can contribute strategic direction, business development, branding, technology, systems, and leadership expertise to accelerate growth. I am particularly interested in businesses with proven demand, strong fundamentals, and long-term expansion potential. My objective is to partner with ambitious founders and management teams to create enduring businesses that generate value for customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities they serve. I am actively seeking investment, acquisition, and partnership opportunities that are strategically aligned with our existing ecosystem and can create long-term synergies across our portfolio of companies. I will invest personally. I have an active Malaysian number.

  • Investment Criteria

    - I am particularly interested in businesses that have strong fundamentals, clear competitive advantages, and the potential to scale regionally or nationally through systems, technology, and leadership development.
    - Factors I look for before investing, acquiring, or advising a business:
    1) Strong and ethical leadership - I prefer businesses led by founders or management teams with integrity, resilience, and a long-term mindset. I invest in people first, businesses second.
    2) Proven demand- I am looking for businesses with demonstrated customer demand rather than concepts that rely heavily on future projections. A growing customer base and repeat purchases are strong indicators.
    3) Scalable business model- I favour businesses that can grow beyond the founder through systems, SOPs, technology, branding, and talent development.
    4) Healthy unit economics- I am looking for businesses with sustainable gross margins, positive cash flow, and a clear path to profitability. Growth without profitability is generally less attractive.
    5) Competitive advantage- This may come from brand strength, technology, exclusive partnerships, operational excellence, distribution networks, intellectual property, or customer loyalty.
    6) Industry growth potential- I prefer industries with long-term growth tailwinds such as tourism, hospitality, food & beverage, technology-enabled services, e-commerce infrastructure, education, healthcare, and business services.
    7) Ability to create value- I am most interested in situations where my experience in operations, marketing, digitalisation, technology, scaling, and leadership development can accelerate growth after investment.
    - Businesses I like:
    1) Tourism and hospitality businesses with strong brands and recurring demand.
    2) Food & beverage brands with expansion potential.
    Technology platforms and marketplaces.
    3) Asset-light service businesses.
    4) Consumer brands with strong customer loyalty.
    5) Businesses that can benefit from digital transformation and operational improvement.
    - Businesses I generally avoid:
    1) Businesses that depend entirely on a single founder with no systems.
    2) Highly speculative ventures without proven revenue.
    3) Businesses with poor governance or questionable ethics.
    4) Commoditised businesses competing solely on price.
    Industries facing long-term structural decline.
    5) Businesses with excessive debt and weak cash flow management.
    - I am particularly attracted to businesses that have already proven their product-market fit and are seeking the right strategic partner to help them scale to the next level.
    -The business should be in Malaysia or in Singapore, as I have good connections there.
