Work
My work has taken me to many countries and a range of industries, where I worked with, was managed by and directly managed many talented individuals from around the world.
Part 1
I spent first part of my career working at an investment bank in a range of roles in London and Zurich
Coding math models, creating strategy indices and growing that business as a quant strategist
Creating exotic structured products and working with sales teams to sell those to institutional investors and hedge funds
Trading (and risk managing) vanilla and exotic options - our FX options trading desk was one of the top 3 trading desks in the world
As a part of my job, I had direct PnL responsibility. I also worked with software engineers and quants from around the world to build tools and products. Those products had direct commercial impact and were deployed globally to internal and external clients.
Part 2
For the past several years, I have been building products and product teams. I have led product teams in a range of technology companies
I have worked on a range of products - from fintech, insurtech to grocery & food delivery, travel and a telco. The products that my team built are used by millions of users around Asia and Australia. Some of those products and start-ups failed while many were successful.
As a part of my job, I have built and led large teams of product managers, engineers, data scientists and data analysts around Asia - Singapore, Taiwan, China, India and Sri Lanka
Part 3
I am one of the founders of Circular, which sits at an exciting intersection of fintech, e-commerce and the Circular Economy.
Circular is backed by YCombinator (YC W22), Airtree, Partech, January Capital, and other renowned VCs. We are also proud to have many well-known angel investors.
We’re on a mission to enable a future where physical products’ useful lives are maximised by efficiently cycling them between loving users and careful refurbishment - until they are ready to be recycled.
Our customers get affordable and convenient access to the best products in any category, and the environment sees less waste and carbon emissions.
On that note, we are hiring for a range of roles - a lot of those roles can be fully remote. So, do get in touch with me if you are interested in working with a diverse group of people from around the world.
