About & capabilities
I work at the meeting point of business and social impact. My background is in finance and business management; my practice is in running projects — from youth innovation programs with UNICEF to enterprise support with Impact Link Asia and Social Value Vietnam.
I like the quiet parts of the work: designing interview guides, building trackers that people actually use, and writing up findings honestly — including what we don't yet know.
