Our product is used by millions of researchers, government officials and librarians worldwide. By helping them, we are making contributions in advancing science for a better tomorrow. This is truly exciting.
I joined RELX in 2006. I spent 15 years in sales in Elsevier. I moved to the product team in 2022 and I am the product owner of Scopus, a tool that helps the world of research make high-value decisions with confidence. Not only am I an amateur bird-spotter but I like to think I can spot a good opportunity for product growth.
I believe in what science can bring to make our future better. Our product is used by millions of researchers, government officials and librarians worldwide. By helping them, we are making contributions in advancing science for a better tomorrow. This is truly exciting.
My long career in sales helped me deeply understand our customers especially in Asia-Pacific. This enables me to bring unique perspectives to our team.
My natural inclination to enjoy working in a global, culturally diverse and highly cross-functional team is helpful. Our team consists of motivated, professional and warm-hearted colleagues. I feel not only are we tackling various challenges every day together, but we are also growing together. When I am enjoying my work, I am at my best.
