Location: Hong Kong (PR) · Sydney, Australia (PR) · EU national. No visa sponsorship required.

I've spent 15 years building mobile products at scale — Google, Myspace, Booking Holdings (Agoda), and Skyscanner. A few things I've shipped:

Rebuilt Agoda's iOS + Android apps from scratch. Launched the OTA industry's first all-inclusive pricing model with ML-powered search. Result: 6x daily bookings, 2x conversion, $2B annual mobile GMV. Led Hotels, Car Hire & Rail at Skyscanner through COVID-19. Grew Hotels above pre-pandemic levels — the only product line at the company to do it. Launched the first Myspace app on Google Play. Installed on 50% of Android devices worldwide within 12 months. At Google, ran global launch marketing for Google Mobile Search, YouTube Mobile, and iPhone Apps. Co-wrote the quarterly board letter.

What I'm good at: Mobile product strategy (iOS/Android), AI/ML product integration (recommendations, ranking, personalisation, pricing), P&L ownership, 0→1 and 1→scale, cross-functional team leadership across APAC/US/EU, UX/UI, OTA/travel tech, consumer internet.

What I'm looking for right now: Fractional CPO · VP Product · Product advisor · Board / NED · Consulting engagements. Particularly interested in mobile-first, AI-native, or travel/e-commerce companies. Happy to work remotely from HK or Sydney with periodic travel.
