Bio

I am an enthusiast when it comes to learning new experiences. I like to venture upon new business cases and challenges from the business aspect to the ideology and vision aspect. I believe there are three pillars of a great business which are Operation Sustainability, Circular Economy, and Human Resource all wrapped under the roof of Continuous Innovation.

I'm passionate about

Sustainability, Climate Change, Fairness

An idea worth spreading

Every person is represented as a book, you only get to see the cover which is what they allow you to see. As you read their story, you'll find that everyone is unique and good because everyone does what is good for them.

Areas of expertise

International Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Sustainability

The TED story

In my late teens, just like most of us, I felt the universe had to revolve around me. How I wasn't getting enough love, care, and attention from family, friends, and partner. As common as it sounds, some of us and me to be exact, found myself longing to end what was a short episode of my life. As I took an attempt to end my life with a knife to my wrist, my brain asked me the question "Why do people commit suicide?" This led me to drop the knife and searched on Youtube regarding the topic. And to my surprise the first video that popped up was a talk by Mark Henick hosted by TEDxToronto. That video saved my life in ways I couldn't imagine. This event is what drove me to organize my university's first TEDx event. I want to let as many ideas as possible out there to be shared and potentially save lives. Ideas worth sharing could be the single most powerful tool to actually make a difference.
