Village Improvement Program Coordinator

As Village Improvement Program (VIP) coordinator, I collaborate with Iconic Sai team and our partner organizations to successfully implement village improvement projects across ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia and so on, resolve problems on the ground, and keep the rest of our team up to date on project statuses. I am pleased to use my experience in science and sustainability to further the amazing work of Iconic Sai.

My academic experience includes a Bachelor of Science in Computing for Business from the Northumbria University at Newcastle and Certified Quality Engineer by the American Society for Quality (ASQ). I'm a Qualified and Registered by United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) as Lead Auditor and Competent practitioner in Quality and Environmental Management System with strong background in Manufacturing Industry ie: Electrical & Electronics, Mechanical, Automotive and Medical Devices with 15 years of working experience. Involved in planning, executing and maintaining of Quality, Environment and 6S Management System in 4 manufacturing sites in Mikuro Group. My passion in helping and creating improvement for those who are suffering gave me an opportunity to travel remote places around ASEAN, where I worked with NGOs, community members and local governments to solve water supply and hygiene problems in rural communities. I was then instantly hooked by the opportunity to use my knowledge in related field to foster real change in rural communities.

I thank the almighty for choosing me as HIS instrument in this journey with Iconic Sai.
