I build markets, communities, and distribution systems.

我构建市场、社区与分发系统。

I am a Borneo-born operator, growth marketer, and business builder working across South East Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. I co-founded and led Tiki to 100M+ users in India; at BIGO, I work on South East Asia and Middle East growth around a $500M regional investment. Most of my work sits where product, distribution, government, creators, AI-native workflows, and local relationships meet.

我是来自婆罗洲的出海操盘手、增长营销人和业务建设者,长期深耕东南亚、南亚与中东。我曾联合创立并带领 Tiki 在印度扩展至1亿以上用户;在 BIGO,我负责围绕5亿美元区域投资的东南亚与中东增长工作。我的核心工作通常发生在产品、分发、政府、创作者、AI 原生工作流和本地关系的交汇处。

Distribution Is Product 分发即产品

Growth asks how to acquire users. Distribution asks what system makes the product more trusted as it spreads.

增长问的是如何获取用户。分发问的是:什么系统能让产品在传播过程中变得更可信。

01

Access

准入

Who opens the door: regulators, platforms, partners, supply owners, and local trust brokers.

谁能打开入口:监管方、平台、合作伙伴、供给方与本地信任中介。

02

Supply

供给

Whether the product has enough local liquidity, inventory, creators, merchants, or operators to feel alive.

产品是否拥有足够本地流动性、供给、创作者、商家或操盘手,让市场感觉它是真的活着。

03

Status

地位

Why people want to be seen using it: recognition, identity, creator rank, community proof, and social reward.

为什么用户愿意被看见正在使用它:认可、身份、创作者等级、社区证明与社交回报。

04

Presence

存在感

How the product becomes part of the market's daily surface area: events, creators, channels, partnerships, and rituals.

产品如何进入市场的日常可见范围:活动、创作者、渠道、合作伙伴与用户仪式感。

“AI can help you build the thing. Trust still has to be earned in the market.”

“AI 可以帮助你把产品做出来,但市场中的信任仍然需要亲自赢得。”

How I Help 我的服务

Practical operating help for founders entering markets where playbooks break.

为进入复杂市场的创始人,提供经过实战检验的操盘支持。

01

Market Entry Strategy

市场进入策略

Which market, in what sequence, and what needs to exist before you arrive.

判断优先进入哪个市场、进入顺序,以及正式落地前需要建立什么条件。

02

Gov & Regulatory Navigation

政府与合规导航

Real relationships with investment authorities, licensing bodies, and local policy actors.

建立与投资机构、发牌机构、监管部门及政策相关方的真实关系。

03

Distribution & Growth

分发与增长系统

Creator ecosystems, partnerships, referrals, communities, and product loops that work locally.

构建在本地真正有效的创作者生态、合作、推荐、社区与产品增长闭环。

04

Working Principles 工作原则

Patterns from Second Memory that shape how I work.

来自 Second Memory 的长期模式,构成我的工作方式。

Personal Operating System

The thread is simple: people, trust, distribution, and execution.

主线很简单:人、信任、分发与执行。

The best opportunities for me sit where a founder needs more than advice: market sense, local relationships, operator judgment, and the patience to turn ambiguity into a real system.

最适合我的机会,不只是需要建议,而是需要市场判断、本地关系、操盘直觉,以及把模糊问题变成真实系统的耐心。

People stay for people, not content. 用户留下来,是因为人,而不只是内容。 The creator economy is not only media supply. It is identity, status, community, and repeat belonging. 创作者经济不只是内容供给,更是身份、地位、社区和持续归属感。
Emerging markets are not smaller US markets. 新兴市场不是缩小版美国市场。 Distribution, payments, trust, regulation, language, and local status games all change the product. 分发、支付、信任、监管、语言和本地身份游戏,都会改变产品本身。
0-to-1 and 1-to-10 are different muscles. 从0到1和从1到10需要不同能力。 One requires belief and first liquidity. The other requires process, leaders, metrics, and repeatable operating cadence. 前者需要信念与首批流动性,后者需要流程、负责人、指标与可重复运营节奏。
Provide value first, then enjoy the process. 先创造价值,再享受过程。 The best relationships start with being useful before anything is asked for. The work lasts longer when the process is worth enjoying too. 最好的关系,往往从先提供真实帮助开始。过程本身值得享受,工作才能走得更远。
