Ex-Group CEO with 26+ years scaling electronics manufacturing, IR4.0 transformations, and venture commercialization across APAC, the EU, and the US. I sit at the intersection of technology and commercial scaling — turning automation, IR4.0, and operational change into revenue and margin, not slide decks.
I work with manufacturers, EMS providers, founders, and SME owners who need a senior operator. If your plant is bleeding margin, IR4.0 isn't paying off, sales have flat lined, or you need an interim C-suite, I can help.
What I bring — proven, not theoretical:
• Closed USD 4M+ in OEM contracts (Jabil, Flextronics, AMD, Plexus)
• Secured $2.5M in venture capital for circular-economy ventures
• 40% YoY sales growth as Country Sales Manager at DNIV
• Captured 70% market share for a flagship PCB router line in Malaysia
• Designed automation that cut labor cost 40% and lifted PCB efficiency to 80% (yield 95%)
• 2 commercialized patents (RiceStraws, Origo Pallet) — FDA and TUV certified
• Built ventures from concept to international commercialization in HK, Thailand, and the EU
How I engage:
1. Diagnostic sprint (1–2 weeks) — P&L, ops, go-to-market, IR4.0 readiness audit. Fixed fee, written report.
2. 90-day transformation — embedded operating partner. Targets agreed upfront, milestone billing.
3. Fractional executive — interim COO/CSO/Strategy Director for SMEs. Monthly retainer.
My process is built around speed-to-clarity. Engagements begin with a 60-minute kickoff, followed by structured discovery (document review, stakeholder interviews, site walk or video audit). I deliver a written diagnostic within 10 business days. For 90-day transformations, we agree on 3 measurable outcomes at kickoff, gating progress every 30 days. Fractional engagements run on a monthly retainer with a 3-month minimum and a 30-day exit clause.
Typical client outcomes: 18–25% reduction in operating costs within 9 months of an IR4.0 deployment, 30%+ improvement in on-time delivery, doubling of qualified pipeline within two quarters, and successful EU, Thailand, and Hong Kong market entry.
Prior to founding Origo Eco, I ran NLYTech Solutions (2013–2023) — global sales of electronics manufacturing solutions, including robotic soldering systems for Flextronics. Before that, Country Sales Manager at DNIV – Getech (2008–2012), one of Asia's largest industrial automation distributors. I also support investors with operational due diligence on EMS and circular-economy targets — capex validation, supply-chain risk, 100-day post-acquisition integration. NDA-friendly, deal-room experienced.
