What I Do

Three ways I add value.

01

Hardware Product Development

Concept to certified to manufactured. I manage the full product journey — engineering, regulatory certification, supplier selection, and production scale-up.

02

Asia Manufacturing & Supply Chain

15+ years of supplier relationships across Singapore, Malaysia, and China. I connect your product to the right factory and manage the transfer without losing quality or IP.

03

Fractional COO & Venture Building

Embedded operational leadership for companies that need a senior hardware executive without a full-time hire. I also co-found hardware ventures for the right opportunities.

The Edge

My edge is the bridge.

Western companies innovate. Asia manufactures at scale. Very few people have lived and worked deeply on both sides. I have spent 15+ years across Singapore, Malaysia, China, and Southeast Asia — and now operate from Switzerland.
