I used to invest as a VC. Now I lead startup GTM and partnerships for Notion across APAC. Same ecosystem, different seat.

About
I’ve sat with founders and with funds.
I was a Principal at Hillfarrance. Raising, investing, and running ecosystem events. Now I’m Notion’s Startup Market Lead for APAC: programmes, partnerships, and the rooms that make them real. Still hands-on through Lowkick when founders need fundraising or operating help. Outside work: guitar, golf, Muay Thai.
