About

I can build the backbone of a global workforce.

I can own finance and operations end-to-end: unit economics, global payment infrastructure, commercial contracting, and the country-level HR and Finance organization — at the scale of hundreds of people across 25+ countries.

I can reduce unit cost while the network grows, through vendor renegotiation, workforce controls, entity and EOR structuring, facilities, and the contracting and compliance programs those markets require. When there is no inherited team or process, I can build both from zero.

In a new market, I can own the build on the ground — from strategy, to recruitment, to standing up an office. Creating the teams, setting up banking and accounts, and putting in place the full framework for on-the-ground personnel.

No inherited team required. I can build the process from zero — and run it lean.

Experience

What I bring to the table.

The functions I can own, grouped by domain — finance, operations, contracting, and the on-the-ground build.

Finance & Unit Economics

  • Drive unit-cost down through vendor renegotiation, workforce controls, entity and EOR structuring, and facilities consolidation.
  • Build global payment infrastructure for batch payouts across 25+ countries.
  • Partner with leadership on financing strategy, diligence, and facility structuring.

Operations & Workforce

  • Own a distributed workforce of hundreds across 25+ countries.
  • Build the country-level org from zero — no inherited team or process required.
  • Own QA and workforce performance analytics, pace analysis, and output acceptance methodology.
  • Put in place HRIS and contractor-of-record layers, including EOR in markets without a local entity.
  • Source, diligence, and manage dozens of capture and labeling partners — holding the commercial line on rates and converting pilots into six-figure-hour production.

Commercial Contracting

  • Own the contract lifecycle end-to-end — drafting, redlining, negotiation, execution, and amendments — across a high-volume portfolio.
  • Build the commercial contracting playbook for multi-jurisdiction vendor and partner agreements.
  • Negotiate commercial terms across Southeast Asia, MENA, and North America.

Regulatory & Compliance

  • Own multi-country privacy and data-protection compliance, directing build-outs for country-specific regimes.
  • Design participant consent and notice frameworks for capture operations.

Corporate, Entity & Facilities

  • Structure and stand up local operating entities across Southeast Asia.
  • Manage registered agent, tax registration, and corporate filings.
  • Negotiate commercial leases, ISP, data center, and logistics contracts across operating markets.

Sales & Compensation Design

  • Author sales playbooks from scratch — call scripts, qualification frameworks, and objection- and rejection-handling material.
  • Design compensation and commission structures for sales roles across operating countries.
  • Lay out payroll and compensation bases in each country, aligning local pay practices with a single global framework.

Risk & Controls

  • Detect and remediate payroll fraud, and build fraud-detection controls into payroll and QA analytics.
  • Author company security protocol — leadership communications policy, phishing advisory, and cybersecurity training.
  • Serve as external spokesperson on operational and regulatory matters.
