Biography

FinTech Entrepreneur | Non-Exec Director at JA Alumni Asia Pacific | Global Student Prize Finalist

As the Global Alumni Lead for JA Worldwide, a Top 7 NGO in the world, my work in innovating entrepreneurial education has reached more than 65,000 students around the world. I became a CSR enabler for MNCs such as Twitter, dentsu, Microsoft, HSBC, FedEx, etc. My impact has been recognized by the Global Student Prize, a sister award to the Global Teacher Prize, which allowed me to bring student voices to the discussion on the future of education.

With my passion in empowering people, I am building a retail trading app in the U.S. that equips retail investors with robust data and algorithms that measure individual investment impact, along with a venture builder by TBWA, the world's most innovative companies in advertising. In company with MIT-Sloan MBA students, investment bankers, and retired stock exchange C-level executives, we hope to disrupt retail trading for a more sustainable future.
