01 / About Me
Finance, With
an Operator’s Perspective.
I’m a finance leader and founder working across financial services, advisory and operating businesses. At Mitrade, I lead group finance across a multi-jurisdiction regulated platform, partnering with founders and boards on treasury, capital planning, controls and finance transformation.
My experience spans audit at KPMG, public-sector finance at Sport Singapore, and regional finance and operations at Livspace. Alongside these roles, I’ve built businesses and practical finance tools through Aqount Technologies and Ranidae Fisheries.
I’m particularly interested in how better systems and AI-enabled workflows can make financial information more useful to the people making decisions.

Building Businesses.
Bringing Perspective.
I founded Aqount Technologies to help founder-led and multi-entity businesses build clearer reporting and practical finance tools, and co-founded Ranidae Fisheries, an aquaculture and food supply business operating across Southeast Asia. My earlier ventures spanned B2B trading and commercial services, including a business scaled to more than 120 staff before acquisition. Alongside these ventures, I’ve built a career in finance spanning audit at KPMG, the public sector and venture-backed businesses, and now serve as Group Finance Director at Mitrade.
