Always looking for new problems to help solve

I grew up in Hong Kong and this forever informed my world view. From an early age I learned that people come from all different walks of life and to always ask questions to find my way around. 

My true passions are meeting interesting people, solving problems and listening to stories. I geek out on expansion strategy and believe the world is a big place with lots of opportunity, but also a small place where it really helps to know the right people. 

My mission is to help brands, founders and sales teams tell compelling stories that inspire; design playbooks that scale efficiently and build concrete centers of truths for revenue systems. My hope is to share my knowledge about social selling and customer relationship data management so others can scale successfully and save time.

I rely on intuition, optimism and testing hypotheses to better understand data and inform future-forward decision making. I understand sales data management better than most I know, especially as it pertains to multi-location, channel based or non-traditional business development.

We help teams start more conversations...

I'm excited to share that Hubmee is entering a major new phase of growth! 

Over the past several weeks, we’ve been actively presenting at major tech events, meeting with investors, and receiving strong interest as we move toward closing our Seed Round.

Hubmee continues to evolve rapidly; expanding our AI-driven personal management tools to advancing our B2B partnerships, white-label opportunities, and overall platform capabilities. 

The Seed Round is structured at an early-stage valuation to strengthen our infrastructure, expand features and prepare to support the next stage of growth with a possible exit in the coming years.
 
Take a look at what we’re building at www.hubmee.com or drop me a line and I can demo how it helps me keep my own life in order!
