i am a singapore-born, vancouver-raised single dad of two delightful daughters. i live in palo alto where i can enjoy many of my hobbies year-round: hiking, biking and swimming (anything outdoors, really!), camping & smores; and dorking out on tech and how to simplify it to make it useful. i can be a little quirky - i listen to christmas music all year, believe dark chocolate is an essential food group, love to nap, and admit to believing in the ogopogo (not sure about the sasquatch). i also excel at picking sports teams that stay perennial underdogs.

about the work-me: i'm a product and product and partner-driven marketing leader who is pretty good at simplifying technology and growing revenue quickly and profitably. the sectors i have most experience with search/discovery, commerce/travel, small businesses and the mobile web. along the way i've learned a lot of invaluable lessons by failing a bunch.

among other things, i co-founded citysearch sf (IAC), drove partnerships & revenue at worldres (WRI), tripled revenue as general manager of yahoo travel, and co-founded uptake and grew it to the third largest travel research site (GRPN). i currently run corporate development and strategic projects at ebates.
