Work History

OpenShift Sales Specialist

I am a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Red Hat OpenShift with a focus on OpenShift Virtualization and Open Hybrid Cloud. Based in APAC, I lead the go-to-market (GTM) strategy for OpenShift Virtualization, working with customers, partners, and field teams to drive adoption by articulating value propositions, building business cases (VMAs, TCO, ROI), and enabling successful migrations and modernizations.

My expertise lies in helping organizations transition to modern, cloud-native development practices and hybrid cloud architectures while reducing costs and mitigating vendor lock-in. I design and execute targeted sales plays across APAC to convert opportunities into pipeline and technical wins, while collaborating with local and global teams to uncover patterns, share feedback, and support strategic accounts.
