As a Lecturer, Director of Global Entrepreneurship Education, and Entrepreneur in Residence at the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, I am helping to expand MIT’s evidence-based, execution-focused Disciplined Entrepreneurship curriculum and its GenAI-powered learning tool, the MIT Entrepreneurship JetPacks, to aspiring entrepreneurs globally. At the MIT Sloan School of Management, I am co-teaching 15.390: Entrepreneurship 101–Systematic Approach to New Venture Creation in Fall 2025, which is based on the Disciplined Entrepreneurship: 24 Steps to a Successful Startup framework and book by Bill Aulet. My research in entrepreneurial strategy and behavioral economics has been published in Management Science and recognized with the 2021 SRF Dissertation Scholar Award (WMDRG) from the Strategic Management Society.

Before academia, I led regional expansion and operations, business development, public policy, government affairs, and social impact as an early employee and founding Vice President of Public Affairs at Grab, the largest digital ridesharing and super app platform in Southeast Asia. In Grab's early founding stage, I led local teams to launch new markets and services (GrabCar), managed operations as the founding Country Heads of Grab Thailand and Grab Vietnam, and supported investor relations in fundraising rounds. I was also an early investor in Grab’s Series B round in 2014.
