With over 20 years of success in the data business, I am a passionate and driven leader committed to delivering value-added solutions to my customers. My strong background in computer engineering and business administration enables me to understand both the technical and business aspects of nearly all initiatives. Tangibles: - 5 years of experience in leadership roles - 6 consecutive years of achieving 100% targets - 9 years of experience in technical roles (with a focus on data solutions) - 13 years of experience in sales roles (with a focus on data solutions) As the Director, Regional Sales Leader at Couchbase, I am responsible for leading the team responsible for Couchbase business in Asia Pacific - top accounts, building and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders, and driving revenue growth and customer satisfaction. I am motivated by the mission of Couchbase to enable customers to leverage the power of cloud databases and cloud-native applications to achieve faster, more scalable, and more flexible data management and analytics outcomes. I am also committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture within my team and the wider Couchbase organization, where everyone can contribute their ideas, perspectives, and experiences, and learn from each other. Previous roles within Couchbase includes leading APAC sub regions in ASEAN and JAPAN successfully. In my previous role as the Director, Strategic Accounts at SAS, I focused on delivering industry solutions for financial services customers in the areas of analytical applications, platforms, and regulatory compliance. I worked with local, regional, and global strategic accounts, and partnered with cross-functional teams to understand the customers' business challenges, needs, and goals, and to propose and implement solutions that met or exceeded their expectations. I leveraged my solution selling, pre-sales, and sales leadership skills to manage complex sales cycles, negotiate contracts, and close deals, as well as to provide ongoing support and guidance to the customers throughout their journey with SAS. I am proud of the results and impact that I achieved with my customers, such as reducing insurance claims fraud, waste, and abuse, improving data governance and quality, and enabling regulatory compliance and reporting.
