Bio

I believe in marketing is both an art and a science. My teaching and research interests combine my IT and analytic background with marketing applications. I want to teach students practical skills to prepare them to excel in a professional environment outside the classroom.

I have experience working in the Marketing Analytic consulting and IT consulting industries. My job responsibilities focus on designing and managing analytic projects, performing quantitative studies, designing e-business strategy and analyzing IT performance for finance sector clients. My clients include Bank of America, IBM, MayBank (Singapore) and OCBC Bank (Singapore).
