Hello,
I am a PhD candidate in Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the London Business School and Transport Studies at the University of Oxford. I study how organizations select and scale up radical innovations and impact. In particular, I work with startups, investment organizations, innovation accelerators, and corporate venture programs to conduct field research and experiments (A/B tests) that inform both theory and practice. My research has been published in Management Science.
My industry experience motivates my research. Prior to academia, I was an early startup employee and founding Vice President of Public Affairs at Grab, where I led market expansion, government affairs, and social impact at the leading ride-hailing and superapp platform in Southeast Asia. I was also an early investor in Grab and continue to invest in and advise technology startups through my venture fund, CSVE Ventures. In my free time, I serve on the Extended Leadership Team and Startup Review Committee of the XA Network, Southeast Asia’s largest tech angel investor network.
