Board Member · CCO · Serial Starter of Things

Building what matters, across borders.

Dubai-based. Operating across Singapore, the UAE, and Southeast Asia. If you need me, I'm probably in a meeting about a meeting.

Executive.
Operator.
Builder.

Walked into Mechanical Engineering at TU Mandalay. Walked right back out. Now I sit on the Board at I4B Solutions and serve as CCO, where I help Ministries, NGOs, and INGOs modernize their departments — which mostly means convincing rooms full of important people that "we've always done it this way" is not a strategy.

Based in Dubai, operating across Singapore, the UAE, and Southeast Asia. Co-founded a STEAM school, launched a non-profit for Myanmar's tech development, and started a food brand — because starting things is my personality at this point.

Roles that shaped a career.

2017 — Present
I4B Solutions
Board Member & CCO
Founding board member and CCO of a multi-jurisdictional company spanning Singapore, the UAE, and Southeast Asia. I run strategy, handle crisis comms, and spend a lot of time in rooms explaining why digital transformation isn't optional. Also the person they send to international forums when they need someone who can keep a straight face.

Ongoing
Government Institution
Senior Advisor, Administration & Finance
Advising on financial management, personnel systems, and the kind of interagency coordination that requires equal parts patience and diplomacy. Built operational frameworks, institutional policies, and enough SOPs to wallpaper a government building.

NEXTech Co., Ltd
Director
The one who makes the budgets, keeps the teams focused, and makes sure we're not solving yesterday's problems with last decade's playbook. Responsible for strategic planning, resource allocation, and the occasional miracle of client retention.

What I'm actually good at.

Financial governance

Multi-currency headaches, payment systems, budgeting, and treasury ops across multiple jurisdictions. The boring stuff that keeps the lights on.

International operations

Running things across Singapore, the UAE, and Southeast Asia. Navigating regulatory, legal, and cultural complexity — or as I call it, Tuesday.

Strategic planning

Thinking five years ahead while everyone else is still arguing about this quarter. Emerging markets, policy environments, and where to put the money.

Digital literacy & training

Teaching government officials that having 47 browser tabs open is not a workflow. Digital literacy programmes for legislators, NGOs, and civil society across Myanmar.

Public policy & compliance

Policy drafting, SOPs, and compliance frameworks. The kind of work where getting it wrong means headlines, and getting it right means nobody notices.

Stakeholder relations

Investors, government counterparts, institutional partners — I talk to all of them. Across Southeast Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific, usually over too much coffee.

Things I started.

Holding Company

I4B Solutions

The mothership. A multi-jurisdictional holding company spanning Singapore, the UAE, and Southeast Asia. Finance, trade, services — and a lot of cross-border coordination that keeps me on planes.

Education

Little Genius School

Mandalay's first international STEAM school. The city deserved one and I apparently deserved less sleep. Co-founded and ran operations.

Mandalay STEAM Education Co-Founder
Non-Profit

THE Foundation

A non-profit for Myanmar's tech development, because someone had to bridge the digital divide and I was already in too many meetings to say no.

Myanmar Tech Development Co-Founder
Consumer Food

Amay Thaung

Authentic Anyar (Central Burma) Foods. Small-batch, homemade, and made the way it's supposed to be. Proof that not everything I do involves a boardroom.

Let's talk.

Partner, investor, collaborator, or just someone with a good idea and bad timing — I'm always open to the right conversation.
